Tomorrow we will have our next Biofilm Corner about new perspectives on phage-biofilm interactions. Use this link us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist… Looking forward to see you there.
The ESGB Executive Board met in person this week to deepen connections, assess the year’s progress, and strategically plan activities for 2026. Great energy and ideas for the future!
We are very proud to anounce this month’s Podcast Episode: Phage Therapy in Portugal & Upcoming Symposium In this episode, we speak with @azeredo_joana (@AzeredoLab) about the recent approval of phage therapy in Portugal and what it means for hospitals, doctors, and patients.
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.
📢 Historic day for Portugal and phage therapy! 🇵🇹 A framework was approved, allowing magistral preparation of personalized phage products. 🙌 Grateful to Jean-Paul Pirnay, my group @AzeredoLab Portuguese patients, and doctors who signed a petition inspired by the Belgium model.
Curious about phages that target CoNS? Our latest study provides a comparative genomic analysis and in vitro assessments of their therapeutic potential. @MariaSequeira_L @mdanielafsilva @azeredo_joana @MeloLDR doi.org/10.1016/j.micr… #phage #staphylococcus #CoNS
New paper from the lab! Excellent work from @PhageBurton and great collaboration with @MeloLDR and @evryonis! academic.oup.com/sumbio/advance…
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…
