Mirjam Höchel

Mirjam Höchel is a researcher at the Faculty of Science, affiliated with the Cellular and Molecular Microbiology working group. Her research focuses on the mechanism of protein secretion in bacteria, specifically the Type 3 Secretion System (T3SS) of Salmonella Typhimurium.

Her work aims to clarify the complex dynamics of the T3SS injectosome, a critical structure for bacterial virulence, despite existing structural insights. This research intersects microbiology, molecular biology, and bacterial pathogenesis, with implications for understanding infectious disease mechanisms.
