The synergy between exploring the microbial glyco-code and understanding polymicrobial communities at biological interfaces fuels our research group.

The purpose of the Schäffer Research Group is to foster a collaborative learning environment where graduate students and postdocs thrive as they pursue their goals. We offer talented trainees challenging scientific problems and guide them as they discover solutions. Research stays in the collaboration partners’ laboratories abroad are encouraged.
