AG Grohmann research group

The AG Grohmann research group investigates the molecular mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer, plasmid biology, biofilm inhibitors, and antimicrobial strategies with a focus on Gram-positive pathogens and the spread of antibiotic resistance. Combining molecular biology, fluorescence microscopy, plasmid engineering, and advanced surface technologies, our research aims to better understand microbial interactions and develop innovative solutions to combat resistance.

The AG Grohmann research group includes international postdoctoral scientists, PhD researchers, and Master’s and Bachelor’s students working together in a collaborative environment. The lab supervises Bachelor’s and Master’s theses and provides structured guidance throughout research projects.

In 2025, we moved into the newly completed Wedding Advanced Laboratories (WAL) building, which provides modern S1 and S2 laboratories for cutting-edge microbiological research and high-quality student training.
