Susanne Häußler elected to European Academy of Microbiology

The European Academy of Microbiology (EAM) has announced the election of 95 new Fellows to the network. Among the newly elected members is Prof. Susanne Häußler, head of the Institute for Molecular Bacteriology at TWINCORE and at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig. Häußler studies multidrug-resistant pathogens and chronic, persistent biofilm-associated infections.

Founded in 2009, the European Academy of Microbiology aims to promote microbiological research in Europe and to strengthen the exchange of ideas between scientists. New Fellows of the EAM are selected by existing members of the Academy through a rigorous nomination and evaluation process. The prestigious recognition highlights Häußler’s outstanding contributions to the fields of microbial genomics and molecular diagnostics. Her department focuses on identifying the genetic determinants that enable Pseudomonas aeruginosa to adapt to a persistent, chronic infection state and develop resistance to antimicrobials. This research is driving the development of innovative diagnostic tools for accurately profiling resistance and paving the way for new therapeutic strategies to combat therapy-resistant biofilm infections. “Being elected to the EAM is a great honor. I look forward to contributing to the Academy’s mission of promoting microbiology across Europe,” says Häußler.
