Gauthier Levez presented his master’s project about the possible role of MESH1 - an Eukariotic hydrolase of ppGpp - during phagocytosis of E. coli. He did a great job, but the mistery remains 🔍. We wish him the best of luck in future endeavours.

Laura Martin designed molecular methods to quantify K. pneumoniae virulence factors expression, analyzed their immunogenicity and obtained two DNA vaccines from them. Thank you for your engagement in this challenge always with a smile 🚀All the best for your next scientific trip!

Last week, the Barcelona Debates on Human Microbiome took place and we celebrated the #worldmicrobiomeday with a 'pillar of 4'. What do you think is the connection between the microbiome and 'castellers'?

I was pleased to announce the Best Abstract Award that was granted to Núria Gumà from GiulianaMagri’s lab. Congratulations Núria! And all other speakers. Such great works!!!

🔝A good representation of the MMILab_UDG presented their results at the III Jornades de Biologia today at Facultat de Ciències

Today Queralt Bonet presented and defended her thesis about #AIEC transcriptomics during infection and the role of arginine and colanic acid on the pathogenicity. Congratulations Queralt! And thanks to Dr. Balsalobre, Dr. Aranda and Dr. Serra for the insightful discussion! 🤗

Sara Molina studied the role of ppGpp in our model of similar strain pairs (AIEC and non-invasive). Despite being so close genetically, they behave differently! Great reward for a lot of good work! 💪🏼 We wish you the best! 👩🏻‍🔬

Marta Iglesias just presented her final degree project about the role of type II toxin-antitoxin systems in the patogenicity of AIEC LF82 🧫🧬. Thanks for your hard work, positive attitude and contribution to this novel field of study. Best wishes for a bright future.✨

Júlia Mollà reviewed the methods to identify AIEC and compared two approaches in our cohort of strains. Congratulations Júlia🦋 on your excellent work! A positive attitude is so important—thank you for your kindness 🤗

Joana&Laura are the ELISA dream team 🤩 Over 1000 antibody titers determined always with a smile!!! Thanks a lot for your hard work and kindness!!! A real pleasure to host you the last 6 weeks. Enjoy a well deserved holidays!⛱️🏕️

5 minutes to explain the relevance of your research as starting activity of #NitRecerCat24 at Universitat de Girona 👩🏽‍🔬🌟 Mireia López Siles accepted the CaixaForum #microxerrada challenge to set light into research! 💡💉🦠

🔝A new Research Topic is now open for submissions at Frontiers : “Mucosal Immunity after Vaccination” co-edited by Dr. Naz, Dr. Arish and Dr. López Siles: More information: frontiersin.org/research-topic…

Agraït d’haver pogut presentar al #SCD2025 els resultats del #PostdocBP sobre els efectes de ppGpp en el patró d’expressió gènica de les AIEC durant la infecció. Aquesta tarda més resultats del MMILab_UDG Maria Núria Ramos

🔝🔝Excel.lent estudi de les Interaccions hoste-patogen de l'E.coli adherent-invasiva utilitzant monocapes derivades d'organoides humans 🧫 🔬 Maria Núria Ramos Corominas del grup de Microbiologia de la Malaltia Intestinal, Universitat de Girona #SCD2025 #SCDigestologia

Fimbriae or porin, which part of K. pneumoniae is the best immunogen? Marta Vicente from MMILab_UDG presented comparative data at III EURESTOP meeting 🧩🦠🧬 Thank you for this great opportunity to share our work!

🧪 Parlem amb la biòloga Mireia López amb motiu de la Setmana de les Dones i les Nenes en la Ciència 2025 🔗 gironafm.cat/programs/els-4…

Glad to share our study where two new antimicrobial peptides with broad spectrum activity against multi-drug resistant bacteria have been identified.🦠💊 They inhibit biofilm formation, have improved stability in serum and reduced toxicity! 👌 🔗sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy to explain the role of ppGpp in gene expression changes during infection of intestinal epithelial cells with strains of Adherent-Invasive Escherichia coli at the #ESCMIDGlobal2025. Results of my #PostdocBP at MMILab_UDG.
