The money will go toward a joint project with the Helmholtz Institute Würzburg and the LMU. For his research into bacterial defense against viruses, Rotem Sorek has received the Max Planck-Humboldt Research Award 2023, which is presented together with 1.5 million euros in prize money. The award will fund a research project that the scientist from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel will embark on in collaboration with Jörg Vogel from the Helmholtz Institute Würzburg and Veit Hornung from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich. Together, the scientists want to investigate key mechanisms of the bacterial and human immune systems. Würzburg and Munich will each benefit from half of the money. Defense against pathogens or dangerous foreign substances is essential for all life forms.
