Introducing MIMS-EMBL group leaders: interview with Barbara Susanne Sixt (Link to interview).
The Sixt lab strives to uncover the hidden protective potential of pathogen-suppressed cellular defense pathways, to identify the molecular determinants of host defense and pathogenic countermeasures, and to find means to disturb their balance to the benefit of the host. Our main experimental model is the interaction of human cells with the obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis.
We are so proud that our new website is finally online (Sixt Lab Website). Please visit this site for updated information on our group, our research, open positions, and opportunities for student projects.
