The Leibniz-HKI has awarded the medac Research Award 2024, recognizing outstanding interdisciplinary publications on infectious diseases and anti-infective development. Among the four winning studies is a groundbreaking gut-on-chip model, published in Biomaterials, showing how caspofungin affects Candida albicans. This innovative research advances infection studies without animal testing. The award celebrates the successful collaboration of researchers from biotechnology, infection biology, and image analysis. Congratulations to Parastoo Akbarimoghaddam, Tim Kaden, and Raquel Alonso Román for their exceptional contribution!
