GRK 1121: Genetic and Immunologic Determinants of Pathogen-Host-Interactions

研究训练组（RTG）研究病原体（即病毒、细菌和真核寄生虫）与其宿主之间相互作用的分子方面。所有这些寄生虫都有一个共同点，那就是它们进化出了复杂的机制来进入宿主，并在有效免疫系统的存在下生存和繁殖。尽管有这些共同点，病毒学、微生物学和寄生虫学的研究仍然相对狭窄地集中在各自的领域。

The Research Training Group (RTG) works on molecular aspects of the interaction between pathogens, i.e. viruses, bacteria and eukaryotic parasites, and their hosts. All of these parasites have in common that they evolved intricate mechanisms to enter their host, and to survive and multiply within the presence of an efficient immune system. In spite of these common denominators, research in the disciplines of virology, microbiology and parasitology is still relatively narrowly focused on their own respective fields.
