Have you ever wondered why bats don't get sick from ebola but humans do?

Join us as Christoph Henkel delves into this enigma, unraveling why the virus devastates humans while its suspected reservoir remains unscathed.

Curious about alternative protein sources? Janin Pfeiffer will guide us through the realm of mushrooms and their extraordinary powers, offering insights into their potential as sustainable protein alternatives.

Sit back with a pint as we explore immunology, and the world of mushrooms!

Paleovirology - How Ancient Viruses Shaped Evolution

Christoph Henkel (BNITM)

Currently, Christoph is completing his PhD thesis at the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine in Hamburg.
Over the past years, his research has focused on biosafety level 4 viruses, with a strong emphasis on the Ebola virus. Working in the Virus Immunology group under the supervision of Prof. Dr. César Muñoz-Fontela has not only equipped him with the skills to work with viruses but also provided insights into the functioning of the immune system, particularly during infections.

Why mushrooms should be on your mind and soon on your plate

Janin Pfeiffer (Mushlabs)

Janin studied food chemistry in University of Hamburg. Then she did her PhD at Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology IME. Now she is working for the Infinite Roots® (formerly Mushlabs) to create the food that can save our future!
