The history
The Laboratory of Biomedical Microbiology and Immunology (LBMI) was established in 1996, on the 15th of March. Two organizations, the University of veterinary medicine and pharmacy in Košice and the Institute of Neuroimmunology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, came together with a common goal – “establishment of a sophisticated research unit in the field of host-neuropathogen interactions”.
The present
Since its foundation, the LBMI is assuring excellence in research and education. The research activities of the LBMI have focused on exploring host-pathogen interactions of neuroinvasive human pathogens like Borrelia burgdorferi, Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Franciscella Sp., West Nile virus and tick-borne encephalitis virus and to intervene in their early pathogenesis. The agenda includes a broad range of highly specialized and specific research activities like: a) exploration of transcriptomic and proteomic response of host cells (forming the neurovascular unit) at the onset of pathogen attachment and entry, b) Identification of specific receptors and mapping of domains involved in ligand binding, c) Engineering of single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) that can cross the blood-brain barrier and recognize pathogen receptors, and d) development of antimicrobial peptides. Furthermore, as a responsible contribution to the worldwide SARS-COV2 (COVID 19) pandemic, LBMI has initiated work Slovak National project (APVV) on COVID 19 to reveal molecular interaction between COVID19 and cell receptors, and the development of nanobody based therapeutics to interfere with virus uptake.
We employ state of the art techniques at LBMI viz. next-generation sequencing RNAseq, high-throughput proteomics involving mass spectrometry-based bottom-up and top-down approach, mutation detection techniques, high resolution melting (HRM) assays, direct DNA sequencing, quantitative real-time PCR, transfection techniques, in vitro recombinant protein design and production, protein-protein interaction assays, phage display, affinity ligand binding, pull-down assays and a 3D cell culture model of the human blood-brain barrier (BBB).
The main research topics of LBMI:
  • interactions between neuropathogens and the blood-brain barrier
  • proteomic aspects of neuropathogen:blood-brain barrier interactions
  • development of domain-specific antibodies against Borrelia, Francisella, Neisseria and Streptococci
