Prof Ilse Jacobsen is Professor of Microbial Immunology at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. With her research group at the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology - Hans Knöll Institute (HKI), she is investigating the interactions between Candida and the host, aiming at a better understanding of the interactions that lead to pathophysiological alterations.
