Dieter Jahn

Prof. Dr. Dieter Jahn is a Professor at the Technical University of Braunschweig, leading the Institute of Microbiology within the Faculty of Life Sciences. His research focuses on microbial physiology, pathogen interactions, and heme synthesis. He heads the Jahn Working Group, which includes teams specializing in Applied Microbiology, Bacillus subtilis/Dinoroseobacter shibae systems, Tetrapyrroles/Microbial Communities, and Tetrapyrroles research. His work bridges fundamental microbiology with biotechnological applications, particularly in understanding bacterial membrane vesicles, antibiotic resistance mechanisms, and metabolic pathways in pathogens like Clostridioides difficile and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

• Education: Not explicitly stated in text.
• Research Interests: Bacterial genetics, microbial community dynamics, and systems biology approaches to infectious diseases.

Recent articles highlight studies on bacterial membrane vesicle signaling, bacteriophage lysis mechanisms, and heme biosynthesis pathways. His lab collaborates on projects involving biofilm formation, antibiotic development, and marine microbiology. Key facilities include the Braunschweiger Zentrum für Systembiologie (BRICS), fostering interdisciplinary research.
