The Beutenberg Campus of the Leibniz-Institut für Naturstoff-Forschung und Infektionsbiologie e. V. Hans-Knöll-Institut (Leibniz-HKI) is a premier research hub specializing in natural product research from microorganisms and infection biology of human pathogenic fungi. Located on the vibrant Beutenberg Campus in Jena, it integrates cutting-edge facilities for interdisciplinary studies bridging chemistry, microbiology, and biomedicine. Closely affiliated with Friedrich Schiller University Jena, the campus supports advanced graduate training through the International Leibniz Research School for Microbial and Biomolecular Interactions (ILRS), offering PhD programs and workshops focused on microbial communication, biosynthesis, and host-pathogen dynamics.
- Department Biomolecular Chemistry: Courses and research in structural elucidation, synthesis, and modification of microbial natural products for therapeutic applications.
- Department Bio Pilot Plant: Bioprocess engineering and scale-up techniques for antibiotic and antifungal production.
- Department Infection Biology: Studies on fungal pathogenesis, virulence mechanisms, and infection models.
- Department Infection Immunology: Training in immune responses to fungal infections and vaccine development.
- Microbial Pathogenicity Mechanisms: Analysis of toxin production, biofilm formation, and host invasion strategies.
- Applied Systems Biology: Computational modeling of microbial interactions and infection processes.
- Junior Research Groups: Specialized seminars on emerging topics like metabolomics, genomics, and antifungal resistance.
With approximately 440 staff, the campus fosters collaborative education in fungal genetics, secondary metabolite pathways, and systems-oriented infection research, preparing students for careers in biotech, pharmaceuticals, and academia. Key offerings include hands-on lab courses, international symposia, and technology transfer programs emphasizing sustainable anti-infectives amid rising antimicrobial resistance.
