DZIF Academy 2026

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is my pleasure and privilege to invite you to join the 13th Translational DZIF School, which will be held in Lübeck from 18th to 20th November 2026. With a special focus on translational science we aim to bring together clinical and basic researchers (PhDs, PostDocs and junior group leaders) to discuss latest developments in Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology. In this year´s program major findings from the thematic translational units Infections of the Immunocompromised Host, Healthcare-Associated Infections, HIV, Novel Antibiotics and Tuberculosis will be presented. In addition, DZIF fellowship holders will present their work in separate sessions to explore their data with established researchers in the field. Furthermore, all other participants will be given the possibility to present their work within the scope of a poster session.

I am looking forward to share with you some exciting days in Lübeck, learning from each other in the dynamic and fastidious field of Infectious Diseases Research.

See you in Lübeck!

Best regards,

Prof. Dr. med. Jan Rupp
Director
Institute for Medical Microbiology
