John F. Baines

Prof. Dr. John Baines has served as a professor of Evolutionary Genomics at Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel since April 2009, and since 2016 is the leader of the newly founded Section of Evolutionary Medicine. He has a dual appointment in the Medical Faculty of CAU (Institute for Experimental Medicine) and in the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in nearby Plön. His working group operates laboratories at both the University Clinic Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH), Campus Kiel and in Plön. In 2016, the CAU Medical Faculty and UKSH founded the Section of Evolutionary Medicine on the Kiel Campus of the UKSH, with the mission to further strengthen the link between evolutionary biology and biomedical research.

The Research

Group Evolutionary Genomics

Picture
Topics in the Baines research group focus on the genetic basis of interactions between mammalian hosts and their commensal microbiota and the evolution of disease, particularly in relation to chronic inflammatory disorders. The lab is a participating member of the International Max Planck Research School for Evolutionary Biology in cooperation with the University of Kiel.

Group Intestinal Microbiology

Picture
The Unterweger research group studies how bacteria interact with each other in communities and why bacterial evolution matters when humans get sick. We are particularly interested in the type VI secretion system, a molecular mechanism with which bacteria kill each other.
