The 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀’ 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗢𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 was the last outreach event at our lab with @mariodelr.bsky.social, @gomez-mariscal.bsky.social, Daria Aristova and Damián Martínez.👩🔬👩💻
Having scientists from diverse fields showcasing the range of work being developed in our institute was truly inspiring🤩
Last week, @mariodelr.bsky.social & Raquel Portela (@microbematos.bsky.social IMIB group) presented their ECRA-award collaboration project, 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗙𝗶𝗧𝗧 at the 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗗𝗮𝘆.
The event happened in Oeiras at Santo Amaro Beach and was organized by @itqbnova.bsky.social & #CMOeiras
What if artificial intelligence could tell how bacteria infect our cells?
Raquel Portela and Mario Del Rosario, winners of the ECRA Prize's 6th edition, are developing a tool to observe in real time the harmful effects of bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus in our cells. 🔬🦠

👏Congratulations to researchers @mariodelr.bsky.social and Daria Aristova for their post-graduation in the StartUp Research Program developed by @itqbnova.bsky.social and NOVA SBE.
They had to develop a startup project and present it to a panel of experts and venture capital representatives.🎯
🏖️ July at @itqbnova.bsky.social means Summer Science-summer's internship programme for undergraduates. Our lab welcomed one motivated student supervised by @mariodelr.bsky.social.
👩🔬Students got to experience 27h of hands-on lab work and a sailing baptism!⛵ Read about it at:https://shorturl.at/n55Qj
🚨Join us! We're soon opening 3 postdoctoral positions in #AIDrivenBiology. Seeking biologists (especially microbiology and infection biology), computer scientists, and microscopy developers. Ideal candidates are those eager to use or develop next-gen tech for cell biology. Get in touch (DM/email)
Last Friday, 4th of July, we celebrated
#ITQBNOVADay! 🎉
Our community gathered to award prizes, pay tribute to
staff members and look back on some of the most
memorable moments of the past year.🏅👏
The day ended with our traditional "arraial" and lots of
fun! 🎶
Last Friday we celebrated @itqbnova.bsky.social Day!🎂🥂
In the ceremony,𝗘𝗖𝗥𝗔 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗲 was awarded to researchers @mariodelr.bsky.social & Raquel Portela (from @microbematos.bsky.social IMIB group) in recognition of their outstanding proposal: InfectoFITT.🏅
Award sponsored by #OeirasValley and #Sarstedt
