With longer days and summer approaching fast, we resumed our PhD student Chalk Talk series at @IGCiencia! First up this year was Gwen from the Treeck Lab. Gwen introduced her project on how plasmodium surface antigens are trafficked, using very elegant techniques!

Huge congratulations to Dr. Marco Louro, who defended his thesis with enthusiasm yesterday combining a unique mix of modelling and empirical work to create all in all a super thesis! Well done Marco and good luck for the future!

Had a blast at the 17th Toxoplasmosis conference in Berlin!!! So happy I had the chance to share my PhD work and learn such interesting things about the coolest parasite 🤓 #toxoXVII #toxo24

What an AMAZING week at #ThymE learning everything about my favorite cell type! Also: so happy and honored to receive one of the ThymE24 Grants, thank you for checking out my poster and discussing T-ALL with me 😁🫶

Unforgettable OpticalBiologyPhD Symposium earlier this week!! Thanks IGC PhD Delegates and ChampalimaudF for hosting us and it was so cool chatting to all our new science friends

After the holiday break we resumed our Chalk Talk series with PhD student Monica Louro from the Karina B. Xavier teaching us about community interactions and contributions to bacterial biofilm formation! Keep up the exciting research Monica! 🧫

Exciting times ahead! The 2023 IBB PhD cohort presented their projects at the annual workshop to the entire institute last week.🧑‍🔬 Very thoughtful projects that will no doubt push the boundaries of existing knowledge in their respective fields, well done to all! 🧬⭐️

Another week, another fascinating chalk talk! This week we had Romana Yáñez teach us about her impressive PhD work on splicing factors in plants! 🌱

New paper alert! 🚨 Congratulations IGC PhD student Afonso Mendes on this incredible body of work, when you can’t answer your biological question, why not develop a new method to make it work! Check it out! 👏

If you are in Lisbon, come to the last beer hour ⁦⁦@IGCiencia⁩, to end this chapter while toasting for even better beer hours with GIMM to continue our wonderful scientific discussion in our patio! Thank you ⁦IGC PhD Delegates⁩ + all IBB students for all the great events!

Today, I reflect on the legacy of @IGCiencia over the last 60 years and what it has meant for research and the scientific community in Portugal and beyond. IGC was never just a place—it was a pioneering model. #IGCLegacyLivesOn 1/5

Congratulations to PhD student Victor Mello from the Sartori lab on his pre print that takes a deep dive into the relationship between energetics and conformation of AAA+ molecular motors 🦾🔬🧬 Really cool work Victor!

Este é o percurso da manifestação. Que ninguém se engane e vá bater à porta do antigo ministério…! Partimos do Ministério da Educação, Ciência e Inovação, na esquina entre a Av. Infante Santo e a Av. 24 de Julho. #juntoscontraprecariedade

Tomorrow, there will be a demonstration by scientific workers against the current precarious nature of scientific careers in Portugal. Join us and have your voice heard, starting from the Ministry of education, science and innovation at 2.30pm! 🧬 🪧

I’m thrilled to share that the first manuscript of my PhD is now live on bioRxiv 🎉: Compensatory Evolution to DNA Replication Stress is Robust to Nutrient Availability. Let’s dive into what we found and why it matters! 🔍🧵 (1/7) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations to PhD student Mariana Natalino on her first author paper, detailing new findings on the inner workings of yeast adaptation to DNA replication stress in different environments. Amazing work Mariana! 🧬⚗️
