VAAM Industry-Academia Panel
The online lecture series VAAM Industry-Academia Panel presents two scientists working on similar issues in industry and in academia. In short lectures, both present their work from their perspective and thus show how applied microbiological research and basic research are intertwined and interlocked. The programmes of previous IAP events can be found in the archive.
Presentations are online via Zoom every 2 months on the 3rd Thursday of the month, 4-5 pm.
Participation is free of charge and also possible for non-members of the VAAM.
If you have already registered for a provious event of the series, you do not need to register again. You will automatically receive an invitation and the access data for the Zoom Conference before the next lecture.

Speakers:
1. PD Dr. Dana Kralisch, JeNaCell GmbH, Jena
From academic research to health care in practice – bacterial cellulose in advanced wound care
Modern wound treatment calls for hydroactive dressings. Among the variety of materials that have entered the field of wound care in recent years, bacterial or also called biosynthetic cellulose (BC) represents one of the most promising candidates. The pathway from academic BC research in the lab to health care in practice will be shared on the example of advanced wound care. It will discussed in detail, that the actual market needs and benefits for the society are as important as the science behind.
2. Dr. Armin Ehrenreich, Technical University of Munich
Genetic Analysis of Cellulose Production in Acetic Acid Bacteria
Marker-free gene editing systems were established for two high cellulose producing Komagataeibacter hansenii strains.
They were used to delete the cellulose synthases of all three cellulose biosynthesis operons in each strain and the phenotype of the mutants was studied.
A model for the function of the three operons was postulated:
