Exciting news! 🚨 Huge congratulations to @ferreira_rute2 for successfully defending her PhD! 🎉 Your supervisors (@MeloLDR, @azeredo_joana, @FigueiredoCeu) and all your lab colleagues are incredibly proud of you.

We are thrilled to share that our PhD student @ferreira_rute2 has been honored with the Young Researcher Award in Health Microbiology by the Portuguese Society for Microbiology. Congratulations!

In our more recent publication we developed a PCR-based strategy to detect prophages in H. pylori. We characterized in silico 12 new prophages and studied their impact on H. pylori. #Helicobacter @ferreira_rute2 @MGraca_Pinto @DPP_Pires @MeloLDR doi.org/10.1016/j.mici…

New episode out! 🎙️ We interview @MeloLDR a researcher at the @AzeredoLab in Portugal. In this episode, he tells us about CoNS phages and how phages replicate in cells with different metabolic states (biofilms). We also talk about the challenges of the RNA-Seq workflow.

It is finally out. In our most recent study we used RNA-seq to demonstrate that phage SEP1 activates late stationary phase cells. @mdanielafsilva @MGraca_Pinto @azeredo_joana @MeloLDR #Staphylococcus #phage #msystems journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10.11…

Open PhD student position in our lab: if you are interested in studying phages to overcome ETEC's phage defence systems apply to this call. …der-fellowships.lacaixafoundation.org/finder?positio…

@MeloLDR presented some results on the infection of dormant cells at @SPP2330

The latest edition of @expresso has a report on the DeathTrigger project with an interview with me. An excellent piece made by Vera Arreigoso. I want to express my gratitude to everyone involved in this challenging project
