Metabolomics-guided Natural Product Discovery @ Leibniz-HKI @mnd-hki.bsky.social · Mar 25
Our Junior Research Group started three months ago!
We’ve successfully set up the lab and begun our first experiments. 🧫🧬
Excited to explore natural products produced by bacteria from the #moss microbiome and uncover their bioactivities and roles in microbial interactions! 🌱🦠🧪 #metabolomics

Just wrapped up inspiring days of science and networking at the VAAM Workshop “Biology of Bacteria Producing Natural Products” in Berlin!
Our team’s first conference ended on a high note — 2nd prize for best poster! 🥈🥳
Thanks to the organizers @niedermeyer-lab.bsky.social for a fantastic meeting. 🙏

Our first team outing took us up into the trees! 🌳🧗
Last Friday we went to the climbing forest in Gera, where we tackled different routes, challenged ourselves, and had a lot of fun together! 💪😃

It was great fun to present our research to students of the @uni-jena.de at the trade fair organized by btS – Life Sciences Studierendeninitiative!

Students interested in natural products, metabolomics, or microbial interactions are always welcome to contact us for MSc/BSc thesis opportunities!

🌱 Mosses thrive in extreme environments. At #LeibnizHKI, Jethro Hemmann’s team uses metabolomics to decode moss-microbe interactions in hunt for bioactive #NaturalProducts.

Group photo of the new Thuringian junior research group Metabolomics-guided Natural Product Discovery The image shows natural moss growth on a stony surface. The moss cushions are various shades of green, ranging from bright light green to darker, partly brownish tones.

🚨 We’re hiring a Postdoc in Natural Product Chemistry! 🧪⚗️

Join us to discover and isolate natural products from the moss microbiome and elucidate their structures and biosyntheses.

Our research was featured in a short TV report on MDR THÜRINGEN JOURNAL (in German) 📺: www.ardmediathek.de/video/mdr-th...

The segment highlights how we isolate moss-associated bacteria to explore the antimicrobial natural products they produce.
MDR THÜRINGEN JOURNAL: Entdeckung der Pflanzenwelt: Moosforschung in Jena gestartet - hier anschauen
Insgesamt 16 Tausend Moosarten gibt es weltweit. Doch bislang ist die Pflanze kaum erforscht. Damit sich das in Zukunft ändert, haben Moosforscher aus Jena im Januar ihre Arbeit aufgenommen.
