Imaging Bacterial Pathogens in Action
Across Scales, from Proteins to Patient
In the research group of Gregor Weiss at the University of Zürich, we aim to unravel the lifecycle of bacterial pathogens through an integrative approach, combining infection biology with advanced structural biology techniques. In collaboration with clinical partners, we develop cryo-electron tomography workflows for biomedical imaging. These innovative methods enable us to dissect the molecular basis of diseases directly in patient-derived samples.
