استاد

University of BaselSwitzerland

Dirk Bumann is a Full Professor of Infection Biology at the Biozentrum, University of Basel, where he leads a research group focused on bacterial pathogenesis and antimicrobial resistance. His laboratory investigates the complex interactions between bacterial pathogens like Salmonella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and host tissues, with particular emphasis on how nutrient availability in host environments affects bacterial behavior and antibiotic efficacy. As a director of the NCCR AntiResist initiative, he plays a key role in Switzerland's national effort to combat antimicrobial resistance through innovative research approaches. Professor Bumann's research interests center on infection biology , particularly the metabolic adaptation of bacterial pathogens during infection . His team has made seminal discoveries regarding how host-imposed nutrient deprivation (particularly magnesium and iron limitation) creates environments where bacteria become more resilient to antibiotics, challenging previous assumptions about bacterial persisters. Using advanced techniques including single-cell analysis , whole-organ tomography , and mass spectrometry , his group examines bacterial behavior in physiologically relevant conditions that better mimic human infections than traditional laboratory methods. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on host-pathogen metabolic interactions and their implications for antibiotic treatment failure . His 2025 Nature paper fundamentally challenges the persister hypothesis by demonstrating that nutrient starvation—not specialized bacterial subpopulations—is the primary reason for antibiotic treatment failures in Salmonella infections. This work highlights the critical importance of studying bacterial pathogens in conditions that accurately reflect the host environment. Selected Awards & Honors: Elected Member of European Academy of Microbiology (2019) Elected Member of EMBO (2015) Pettenkofer Prize of the City of Munich (2015) "Go-Bio" Award (2007) EMBO Young Investigator Award (2006) BD Research Prize (2006) Professor Bumann's research group includes several PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and technical staff working collaboratively on various aspects of bacterial pathogenesis. His laboratory maintains strong collaborations with University Hospitals Basel and Zurich through the NCCR AntiResist initiative, extending their research from mouse models to human patient samples infected with Staphylococcus aureus , Pseudomonas aeruginosa , and E. coli .

His research group focuses on uncovering the elementary structures of life through the development of innovative high-resolution bioimaging techniques. Dr. Abrahams completed his Ph.D. at Leiden University in 1991, following earlier doctoral and Candidaats diplomas from the same institution. His academic journey began with a European Baccalaureate from the European School in Bergen, the Netherlands in 1979. Prior to his professorial appointments, he worked as a staff scientist and postdoctoral researcher at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK (1990-1997), and was associated with the Netherlands Scientific Organization at Leiden University from 1985-1990. His research interests center on visualizing the molecular and atomic structure of proteins, which play essential roles in all basic life processes. His group develops and combines cutting-edge technologies from physics, biology, and scientific computing to elucidate atomic structures of proteins. A major focus is addressing the challenge that many proteins fail to form 3D crystals, for which they develop novel sample preparation techniques, optimize data acquisition methods, and refine analysis approaches.
