2025 UniBE
Media Release UniBE
Researchers from the University of Bern, in collaboration with researchers from Australia and New Zealand, have recreated an important process in the laboratory that enables organisms to obtain energy directly from components found in air. This confirms that certain organisms such as bacteria can actually live on air alone, without relying on sunlight or other energy sources. The findings point to new possibilities for sustainable energy production.

The Unexpected Face of Human Parvovirus B19
Group of PD Dr. Carlos Ros
Researchers at the University of Bern have analyzed a mechanism by which the coronavirus manipulates human cells to replicate itself. They show that a coronavirus protein, which is central to infection, has two independent functions. Only one function however occurs in several species of coronaviruses. These findings could drive the development of broad-spectrum antiviral drugs.

Researchers from the University of Bern and the RIKEN research institute in Japan have made a significant advance in sustainable chemistry. They have succeeded in producing organic molecules through a chemical reaction based on the sustainable metals sodium and iron. This represents a more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional methods and has the potential to fundamentally change the production of pharmaceuticals and other fine chemicals.
