Hello Niklas, nice to see you again! After completing his elective module with us, Niklas Rickert joins the Cellular Virology team for his lab rotation.

17.12.2024

Christmas is coming soon! The Cellular Virology team is going to the Christmaas Market and Christmas party.

09.12.2024

… and even more fantastic EV-connections! Today we host Janis Müller from Marburg, who presents his data on the antiviral function of EVs.

13.06.2024

Back to the roots – but actually only by chance. Stephanie is happy to have been invited to Marburg Virology to present her data on the role of EVs in hepatitis B and D virus infections. As she is originally from Marburg in scientific terms (even though the host came to Marburg long after she left), it’s a bit like coming home professionally. It’s exciting to see how the projects have developed and what else could be explored together in the future …

27.05.2024

This week we are happy to welcome another visitor from the other side of the world! Eva Hesping from WEHI is visiting us to present her exciting data on innate immune recognition of malaria and to establish connections with other immunologists in Bonn as part of Immunosensation2.

05.05.2024

Never underestimate the vesicles! Today, Stephanie is delighted to present our recent results „Large-scale purification of extracellular vesicles from urine for diagnostic and methodological developments“ at the International Symposium on Translational Research in Viral Hepatitis.

04.03.2024

After last year’s super productive Australian connections, Stephanie is traveling to Melbourne and Lorne to attend the IRTG retreat, strengthen existing connections and establish further collaborations with Australian colleagues.

21.02.2024

Time for our practical elective module … This week a group of highly motivated Master students “Immunosciences and Infection” visit us to learn the basics of EVs in innate immunity and viral infections.

26.01.2024

Last December was simply far too busy … This year, the Cellular Virology team is celebrating Christmas in January.

10.01.2024

Once again there is a reason to celebrate! Today Cellular Virology is celebrating Timos Paper with a pizza party at BMZ.

21.12.2023

Last year one of our publications was accepted just in time for Christmas, this year just in time for the winter solstice … You can now find Timo’s publication on mass purification of EVs at Separation and Purification Technology (Elsevier)! Congratulations to all co-authors, and you really did a great job, Timo!

12.12.2023

It’s Christmas market time again … Today the Christmas party of the Institute of Cardiovascular Immunology (including Cellular Virology) takes place at the Christmas market in Bonn.

30.10.2023

As of today, we are delighted to welcome visitors from the other side of the world! It doesn’t get much further away … Arwaf Alharbi from the Monash Institute in Melbourne is visiting us for two weeks to engage in scientific exchange.

02.10.2023

Welcome to Forentine! As part of her Bachelor’s degree in Molecular Biomedicine, Florentine Abel is doing her first internship with us and is being introduced to the world of EVs.

15.08.2023

Welcome back! After completing his lab rotation in our group, Sven Kohrn joins us again for his master thesis.

09.06.2023

Today Julia is flying to Melbourne for a month to identify further RNA ligands at the Hudson Institute

17.04.2023

Glad to have you here! The „Cellular Virology“ team is very happy to welcome Laura Pearson as a new PhD student. Laura has already experience with virology and extracellular vesicles and will now study the immunoregulation of the innate immune response in hepatitis virus infection.

23.03.2023

Okay, this schedule is a bit tighter than usual … Stephanie is coming back from Melbourne in the morning to attend the GSEV annual conference, where she will give an invited talk tomorrow. Luckily IGLD has set up a good coffee cart …

07.03.2023

As part of BM-Axis, Stephanie is traveling to Melbourne today to establish further international collaborations on HBV/HDV virology and RNA recognition by the innate immune system.

12.01.2022

Today, not only the article „Many Ways to Communicate-Crosstalk between the HBV-Infected Cell and Its Environment“ by Annika, Maarten and Stephanie is published in Pathogens. This article was also partially included as an entry in the „Encyclopedia“ and selected from 112 articles as the cover article of the January issue of Pathogens!

27.10.2022

Another opportunity to celebrate – the „Cellular Virology“ team is getting more research funding. So now, we have a DFG grant to study the innate immune response and antiviral signaling.

22.09.2022

It’s not all about RIG-I like receptors and extracellular vesicles – it can also be a Toll-like receptor, sometimes. Today, the „Cellular Virology“ team publishes a paper on the immunomodulatory effects of 2′-O-Ribose-Methylation on TLR7 and TLR8 activation.

18.04.2022

Joy again – Today, the „Cellular Virology“ team is really happy to welcome Helena Shkuro for a lab rotation. Great to have you here, Helena!

18.11.2021

Good news again: Today, Basti, Stephanie and Ulla are pleased to annouce that their latest paper on the immune response to hepatitis D virus infection has been accepted for publication in cells.

14.09.2021

Julia has an oral presentation at the annual meeting of the DGHM (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Hygiene und Mikrobiologie). „Bacteriophages against Staphylococcus lugdunensis and their inhibitory effect on biofilms.“

24.08.2021

People get interested in our method to seperate EVs and HBV:

16.08.2021

New Team member in „Cellular Virology“. Today, we officially welcome our new Team member Fiona, who joins us as a Research Assistant. Fiona has already completed her training as a Biological Technical Assistant with Stephanie in Munich and published a method for the separation of EVs and HBV. We are very happy to have you with us now, Fiona!

08.08.2021

First publication by the „Cellular Virology“ Team. Congratulations to Julia and Timo for publishing their first paper, studying the generation of an endogenous RIG-I ligand in Influenza A virus-infected cells. You did a great and extremely efficient job, guys!

01.04.2021

Now we really are a team – a warm welcome to the two founding members Julia Steinberg (PhD student) and Timo Wadenpohl (technical assistant)!

12.10.2020

The Cellular Virology Team starts – initially with one member.
