BRCCH | Ontogeny of the Host - Microbial Interaction in the Intestine

Speaker: Prof Mathias Hornef studied medicine and after a postdoctoral period at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm (Sweden) and clinical positions at the Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg and Hannover Medical School (Germany), he became a full professor and head of the Institute of Medical Microbiology at the RWTH Aachen University (Germany). In recent years, he and his group have worked on the establishment of neonatal gastrointestinal infection models with bacterial, viral and parasitic pathogens as well as the postnatal establishment of the enteric microbiota and the maturation of the mucosal adaptive immune system after birth.
