Cracking bacteria’s defences

Antibiotic resistance is rising faster than science can respond – claiming over 700 000 lives each year and threatening to reach 10 million by 2050. ERC grantee Robert Vácha is taking the fight to the molecular level, using tiny natural molecules…

How plants defend themselves

For decades, plant antiviral defence was thought to rely on a single RNA interference system. Peter Brodersen’s research shows two layers instead: a silent, near-perfect defence, and a costly emergency response when it fails. Together, these layers…

How viruses invade cells

Although thousand times smaller than the width of a hair, viruses can cause global health emergencies as the COVID-19 pandemic has painfully demonstrated. Protection from virus infection is mostly sought in vaccines and health measures. But what if…

Frontier research at the service of the coronavirus epidemic response

How can frontier science help fight the current COVID-19 outbreak? To find out, we talked to a range of ERC grantees who are working in the fields of molecular biology, virology, immunology, epidemiology, and network science. As it turns out, much…
