CJ Harbort
Researcher with experience in human, plant, and microbiome research. Interested in health, food, sustainability, and harnessing (micro)biology to improve them. I also like to ferment stuff.
The Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology focuses on understanding how microbes cause disease and how hosts respond to this challenge. Our mission is to understand infections by viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi and worms of two reasons: they present one of the most significant medical burdens on earth and the interaction between microbes and their host are an essential driver of evolution. Our institute brings together scientists from various disciplines – in this way, we want to find answers to the fundamental questions of infection biology. Hence the scale of our research spans through the atomic, molecular, cellular, tissular, organismal, clinical and finally social level. Privacy Policy: see "Website"
