HHU Research Day on 5.7.2025 was a great success! MibiNet captivated visitors with the "Sweet Secrets – Why Even Fungi Have a Sweet Tooth" experiment. We showed how sugar is broken down in microorganisms – from yeast to the corn smut fungus U. maydis. Big thanks to the team on site!

Tiny scientists, huge fun! Children at AWO Kita Ki.Wis explored the world of fungi with Dr. Terfrüchte and the support of #MibiNet. Microscope, taste test & lots of fun! This is an excellent example of how to get children excited about science.

#MibiNet philosophy in action! Our #MercatorFellows, Antje Heese from the University of Missouri and Daniel Ducat from Michigan State University, demonstrate how crucial exchange, communication, and networking are for a vibrant community. It's inspiring to see them connect and share knowledge.

MibiNet Career Day: 'Mentorship Matters' truly resonated! PIs & alumni shared invaluable career insights across industry, academia, & science management. Excited for our upcoming mentoring program! #MibiNet #Mentoring

Prof. Dr. Ferran Garcia-Pichel from Arizona State University visited #HHU! His lecture at the #MibiNet Seminar on "Emergent properties in desert soil microbiomes (The good, the bad, and the downright ugly)" was captivating. #Microbiome #MicrobialInteractions

We are very happy for Khaled Selim! His Emmy Noether application has been approved. It is a fantastic achievement and an excellent gain for research in cyanobacterial metabolism. Congratulations!
