Marion Scheibe

Dr. Marion Scheibe serves as a Researcher at the Institute of Molecular Virology and Cell Biology (IMVZ) within the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI) on the island of Riems near Greifswald, Germany. Her work focuses on molecular mechanisms of viral infections in animal models, operating within the federally funded infrastructure of Germany's premier animal health research center.

Her research specialization centers on Rhabdoviridae (including rabies virus) and Paramyxoviridae (encompassing pathogens like measles and mumps viruses), investigating viral replication strategies and host-pathogen interactions at the molecular level. This critical work supports the development of countermeasures against zoonotic diseases with potential spillover risks to human populations.

The IMVZ maintains specialized reference laboratories for viral diagnostics under high-containment conditions, where Dr. Scheibe contributes to Germany's national capabilities in emerging pathogen response through collaborative projects with international veterinary and public health agencies.
