Cláudia was awarded the 2026 Faculty Women’s Prize!
This recognition means a lot to us as a small junior group, as it recognizes the achievements we had in the last couple of years, as well as supporting our future projects.
The financial support will help us to further develop our EVs biogenesis project, stay tuned!
BIDlab ‘s second paper is out! 🥳 🎉 In this story, we explore how certain environmental conditions influence extracellular vesicles formation in our favorite bug Streptococcus pneumoniae and how this reflects on biofilm formation 🔬 🧫
Awesome work by Miriana Battista, our collaborators at Applied Systems Biology and several students over the last couple of years, thank you all!! 🙏 🫂

So so happy to share with you our very first publication from the #BIDlab in ACS Infectious Diseases! 🥳 🎉 🙏
In this work, we utilize a cocultivation platform to explore #extracellularvesicles formation at the interface between #bacteria and the human host and provide first insights into regulatory molecular mechanisms. 🧫 🦠
A huge thanks to our super talented PhD student Miriana Battista and our amazing collaborators Christoph Saffer and Applied Systems Biology Jena for the work and support 👌 🙏

The BIDlab is 1 year old! 🎂🙏🏻👩🏻🔬🎉🥳👯
On Oct 1st 2024 we started this crazy journey: 1 junior group leader, 1 PhD student, a small office and a tiny budget. Ups&downs and a lot of hard work later, we have enlarged the group, got funding in, have 1 accepted paper and 1 under revision, went to 5 conferences, integrated into the local research community and we’re still enjoying the journey 🥂🍸🍹
It is very draining and frustrating at times (a lot of times), but we’ll keep moving 🙌🏻 A huge Thank you to everyone that supported us along the way and specially to Miriana for making the lab run, without her this journey would not be possible!🙏🏻
We are very honored to have received funding from the Dr. Hertha und Helmut Schmauser-Stiftung to develop our projects on bacterial EVs lipidomics!
