Hoje estamos no #Ciencia24pt com o “CLEANWATER: Explorar a diversidade microbiana de sistemas de abastecimento de água para deteção precoce de micropoluentes emergentes” (https://lnkd.in/dnFd_4G7) ! #fcnaup #ffup #UCIBIO #LAQV #ADP

Último dia no #Ciencia24pt, hoje no stand do i4HB com o nosso MicroMundo@UPorto! Parabéns à #UPorto que mostrou muito bem o que é receber à Porto e escolher os melhores temas a debater! Foi um +Ciência para Uma Só Saúde e bem-estar global de excelência!

Encontro Ciência 2024, que orgulho ter apresentado os nossos resultados de Resistência Antimicrobiana e Segurança Alimentar na interface animais, alimentos, ambiente e humanos numa sessão com sala cheia e onde foram apresentadas as mais inovadoras estratégias para melhorar o bem-estar global! Obrigada à equipa BacT-Drugs! #Ciencia24pt #FCT #UPorto

E chegou ao fim mais um Encontro Ciência 2024! 🎉 Estes encontros têm sido uma experiência fantástica de ligação entre o ecossistema de I&D nacional, de reencontros com colegas e de discussão de novas ideias. Este ano, sobre o tema "#One_Health: +Ciência para Uma Só Saúde e Bem-Estar Global", contou com mais de 3000 inscritos e foi uma das maiores edições de sempre! 👏 Da parte do iBB-Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences, agradecemos desde já aos nossos parceiros Biobanco Azul Português e i4HB Institute for Health and Bioeconomy pela organização das sessões nas quais participámos, bem como a toda a organização do evento por esta oportunidade. 🙏 Foi um prazer! Até 2025! 🙋♂️ ______________________ And another Encontro Ciência 2024 has come to an end! 🎉 These meetings have been a fantastic experience, connecting the national R&D ecosystem, reuniting with colleagues, and discussing new ideas. This year, under the theme "#One_Health: +Science for One Health and Global Well-Being," it had over 3000 participants and was one of the largest editions ever! 👏 On behalf of the iBB-Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences, we would like to thank our partners, the Biobanco Azul Português and i4HB Institute for Health and Bioeconomy, for organizing the sessions in which we participated, as well as the entire event organization for this opportunity. It was a pleasure! 🙏 See you in 2025! 🙋♂️ Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) Ciência Viva Universidade do Porto ------------------------- Instituto Superior Técnico Departamento de Bioengenharia

🌟 Já estamos no Encontro Ciência 2024! Hoje, o investigador Rodrigo Costa participa na sessão temática *Biobanco Azul Português e a conservação e exploração sustentável do Oceano* 🌊 organizada pelo Biobanco Azul Português (14:00, sala Miragaia). No âmbito do Laboratório Associado i4HB Institute for Health and Bioeconomy, contamos com a Joana Feliciano para nos falar sobre Resistência a Antibióticos, dia 4 de Julho 📅 a partir das 14:00 na sala D. Luís. A investigadora Sandra Pinto estará ainda na Mostra de Ciência e Tecnologia do i4HB Institute for Health and Bioeconomy. Venha conhecer-nos! 🙌 Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT)

Ciência 2024, Day One (July 3) INESC MN participated in the session "Smart Care: The Bridge between AI and Health Systems according to Advances Made at INESCs" alongside researchers from INESC-Coimbra, INESC-ID, INOV INESC Inovação, and INESC TEC, as well as partners from the health sector, including #CHULN, #ISAMB, and #ULSGE. The goal was to highlight key advancements in Smart Care through emerging contributions from INESCs at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Health Systems in a participatory and interactive session. We also have a stand showcasing representative work from our research.

'Ciência 2024' took place at Alfândega do Porto from 3rd to 5th July 2024. The meeting aimed to showcase and enhance today's science for the future of global health and well-being that we aspire to tomorrow. For three days, we connected, debated, and discussed various fields of scientific activity, sharing results, knowledge, and experiences. - Days two and three (July 4 and 5) - INESC MN has as participated on the following thematic sessions:   4 July 2024 📌 Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) | Session focused on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) that aimed to unite researchers across various fields to tackle this challenge. Organized by i3S - Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde and i4HB Institute for Health and Bioeconomy   📌One Health: The Role of Environmental Contaminants | An integrated and transdisciplinary approach that aims to sustainably balance human, animal, and ecosystem health. Organized by CESAM - Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies, and Co-organized by INESC Microssistemas e Nanotecnologias, with participation from Susana Freitas and Catarina R. F. Caneira.   We were delighted to have Ricardo Cabeça and Catarina R. F. Caneira at our impressive stand, showcasing representative work from our research, which was available during the three days of the event. Take a look at the event photos 👇 and also watch Catarina's pitch in the highlights video from July 5th (at minute 2:16) 👉 https://lnkd.in/dS4z3Ezp #Ciência2024 #innovation #research #science

A new paper is out! In this work, the authors Carina Esteves and Cecília Roque explore "Short Peptide and Amino Acid-Based Supramolecular Ionogels and Eutectogels". This work was developed under the scope of #SCENT_project and #ENSURE_project. Well done! 👍 For more info 👉 check the QR Code or: https://lnkd.in/gbkd5irq #SCENT_project #ENSURE_project UCIBIO Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa Universidade Nova de Lisboa i4HB Institute for Health and Bioeconomy European Research Council (ERC)

#research 📑 Oxyfluorfen: a novel metabolic inhibitor to select microalgal chlorophyll-deficient mutant strains for nutritional applications ✅ #Microalgae are natural sources of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates, with diverse and complete nutritional profiles. They are also a source of vitamins, pigments, bioactive compounds and high-quality vegan protein with all the essential amino acids. However, the sensory characteristics of the biomass, namely the green colour and grassy taste originated by chlorophyll, hinder consumers’ and even animals’ acceptance. 📌 Currently, few strains of microalgae are approved in Europe as new foods. To develop #nutritious and appealing #microalgae strains for #food and #feed, a collaboration was undertaken between researchers from a Portuguese industrial producer – Allmicroalgae Natural Products S.A. – and other research teams that included members from iBB-Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences and the i4HB Institute for Health and Bioeconomy. 💡 Upon random mutagenesis, the metabolic inhibitor oxyfluorfen was tested for the first time as a selection strategy to isolate stable mutants of Scenedesmus rubescens and of Chlorella vulgaris which showed very significant decrease of total chlorophyll and high levels of protein content and were still able to maintain good biomass productivities in heterotrophic bioreactor culture. The experimental outputs were recently published in the journal «Algal Research». Read the full text here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/d-r5QdHY

Cecília Roque was interviewed for the "O Futuro do Futuro" podcast, where she explained how our research group has been developing an electronic nose with the potential to diagnose diseases such as bladder cancer or parkinson's disease.
