FEMS Survey - to Improve their Service
Wednesday, 22 October 2025 01:36
Federation of European Microbiological Societies Dear ÖGMBT member, The Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) is undertaking a strategic research initiative to ensure we remain closely aligned with the needs of microbiologists and can best support the field across Europe in the years ahead. To guide this work, we are conducting a survey of those who have engaged with FEMS over the years, and we invite you to participate in a brief survey to share your perspective. By participating, you will help identify key challenges facing microbiologists, guide how FEMS can best support the microbiology community, and ensure your voice is heard at the European level. All responses will be handled confidentially by McKinley Advisors, our research partner. The survey takes about 12 minutes to complete and will close on Tuesday, 11 November 2025, 23:00 CET.

Background of the FEBS Short term fellowship The skin of terrestrial vertebrates forms a variety of cornified appendages such as feathers, hair, or nails [1]. The development and continuous regeneration of the epidermis and the skin appendages depend on enzymes belonging to the family of transglutaminases (TGM), which crosslink proteins to establish the epidermal barrier and the rigid structures of the appendages [2]. However, while the contribution of TGMs to epidermal cornification is well studied, the roles of TGMs in skin appendages remain poorly understood, particularly in non-mammalian…
