Prof Annette Moter heads new Institute of Microbiology and Virology at the UKL
Prof Dr Annette Moter took over the management of the newly merged Institute of Medical Microbiology and Virology at Leipzig University Hospital (UKL) on 1 October. The specialist in microbiology and infection epidemiology is an expert in molecular pathogen diagnostics and brings with her innovative approaches such as fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH), which makes microorganisms visible that cannot be detected using conventional methods. This technique enables more precise diagnosis and treatment, particularly in the case of infections caused by biofilms on implants.

Prof. Moter, who previously worked at the Charité in Berlin, wants to build on the previous achievements of the two merged institutes and integrate new diagnostic methods. Her work is intended to strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation and patient-oriented research at the UKL, particularly in the Centre for Infection Medicine (ZINF). The aim is to better identify infections, develop targeted therapies and optimise the use of antibiotics. In addition to clinical research, Moter wants to inspire future doctors for infectiology and promote an understanding of the importance of microbiological diagnostics.
