Fungi can cause infections when people breathe them in or get them on their skin. Most fungi are harmless, but some can be life-threatening. New report: bit.ly/42bAxc5

Common examples of fungal infections:
RINGWORM
YEAST INFECTIONS
NAIL INFECTIONS
ATHLETE'S FOOT

#AllEyesOn our independent junior research group Robotic-assisted Discovery of Antiinfectives! We use advanced lab automation and specialized assays to identify new antiinfectives. Our goal is to develop effective solutions to combat antibiotic resistance and emerging pathogens. lmy.de/bqSxx

The image shows a robotic arm labeled "PreciseFlex" handling a multititer-well plate, commonly used in laboratory automation for scientific research or medical testing. The setup includes various metallic and plastic components, such as rails, sensors, and other lab automation equipment. The robotic arm is part of the high-tech laboratory robotics platform "JenXplor" of the Leibniz-HKI, where robotics are used to handle samples in a fully automated, accelerated process with precision and efficiency.
