A multi-omics approach to explore antibiotic resistance: how purine metabolism accelerates evolution of ß-lactam resistance
Lecture by Prof. Dr. Hannes Link, Professor für Bacterial Metabolomics, Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen. The lecture is part of our lecture series focused on our new research institute M3.
Hannes Link studied Chemical-Engineering at the Technical University Munich. In 2009 he obtained his PhD in the field of Biochemical Engineering from the TU Munich. For his postdoctoral work, he moved to ETH Zurich and joined the lab of Professor Uwe Sauer at the Department of Molecular Systems Biology. After 5 years postdoc at ETH Zurich, he became an independent research group leader at the Max Planck Institute for terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg and led a team of 8 PhD students. He received an ERC Starting Grant in 2016 and the Emmy Noether Fellowship of the DFG in 2015. Since 2020 he is a full professor for bacterial metabolomics at the University of Tübingen. Research in the Link Lab has a strong focus on metabolomics and multi-omics analyses of bacteria, and their application in metabolic engineering (e.g. CO2 fixation) and infection biology (antibiotic resistance).
