Delighted to share that it is out one of the efforts of @iamusmanakhtar PhD thesis🎓. Well done!👏 https://t.co/lpyixZmztN

An interesting field of research on which our group is giving a contribution.
More to come!😊

@PlanComPakistan @betterpakistan The fundamental problem in Pakistan’s education system is the lack of disciplinary boundaries. People from one field often try to reform another without understanding its unique challenges. For example, social sciences experts proposing reforms for life sciences.

Spent years researching bacteria. Turns out, stress was the real pathogen 🦠
Defended my PhD thesis successfully 🎓 @DanielaDeBiase1 @SapienzaRoma

2024 was a rewarding year for my research on microbial responses in microorganisms to organic acids and low pH and @COSTprogramme @EuroMicropH network. We published two very appreciated reviews
Here they are:

Honored to represent our second poster at #IUMS2024. The AR system in bacteria is something our lab is known for. Grateful for the invaluable guidance of my Professor @DanielaDeBiase1 whose expertise in this field has been instrumental in shaping this research.

The manuscript summarizes the biosensor developed during our @NanoLc project supported by the @NATO_SPS. Our early warning system identifies harmful bacteria in potable water by employing AuNPs and liquid crystals in a cascade-like approach. https://t.co/Ei6klegH69 @SapienzaRoma

Quinten Goessaert STSM in @DanielaDeBiase1 Lab is at its end!
We enjoyed having him in the lab.😊 Results are promising and very interesting! Looking forward to continue the collaboration on persistence and AR with @BramVDBe
