Dagmar Beier

Dagmar Beier is a Lecturer at the Chair of Microbiology, Biocenter, University of Würzburg. Her research focuses on non-coding RNA-mediated gene regulation in bacterial pathogens, particularly Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Helicobacter pylori, with emphasis on two-component systems, acid adaptation, and virulence mechanisms.

Education:

• PhD in Biochemistry (University of Würzburg, 1992)
• Postgraduate studies in Biochemistry (University of Würzburg, 1989-1992)
• Studies of Chemistry (University of Würzburg, 1983-1989)

Her work spans sRNA and antisense RNA functions in bacterial stress responses, phase variation, and mRNA turnover. Key publications highlight regulatory networks in Neisseria gonorrhoeae's metabolic pathways and Helicobacter pylori's acid adaptation systems.

Recent studies demonstrate her expertise in RNA chaperone interactions and flagellar gene regulation in Listeria monocytogenes. She leads projects analyzing ncRNA roles in pathogenic bacteria, with a strong record in senior authorships and collaborative research at the University of Würzburg.
