From 28th June - 1st July, Susana Serrano attended the European Congress on Biotechnology in Antwerp, Belgium. The theme for this edition of the Congress was “Shaping tomorrow: Biotechnology for Health, Food, Energy, Environment”.
Susana gave an oral presentation entitled "Prototyping Structural and Cys-rich proteins relevant for biomaterials and biomedical application using cell-free expression systems". The ECB2026 was a great opportunity to share our results in the scope of INSPIRE project and connect with the scientific community.

This past week, we had the pleasure to welcome Lawrence Honaker.

Lawrence is a visiting postdoctoral researcher and Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow from the University of Luxembourg, working on the TECHSTILE project to produce liquid crystal-functionalized fibers which can respond to harmful stresses and conditions. In our lab, he was eager to investigate and learn about the lab's gas sensing technologies and set-ups and to apply them to the fibers he makes.

We would love to work with you again!🚀✨

Aiming to strengthen the connection between doctoral students, BRIDGE- the group of PhD students from UCIBIO- organised the 2nd PhD Day UCIBIO, which took place on the 23rd and 24th April, at Academia de Instrução e Recreio Familiar Almadense, in Almada. This in-person event brought together PhD students from both units of UCIBIO (NOVA FCT and FFUP), where they could share their experiences with fellow colleagues.

The 2nd PhD Day UCIBIO included exciting plenary sessions with highly experienced researchers (Francisco Enguita from FMUL, Ana Pina from ITQB and Nuno Morais from NMS), a workshop on the use of AI in scientific research, poster and oral presentations, and several social activities.

We are looking forward for the 3rd PhD Day! ✨
