e.biofilm — Group of Excellence on Engineered Biofilms

The 1^st Scientific Workshop tittled “𝟯𝘿 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙡𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙨 𝙄𝙣 𝘽𝙞𝙤𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙢 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝: 𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝘽𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝘼𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨”, held on April 1-10h at FEUP!

🖨️ Over six dynamic sessions, participants engaged deeply with cutting-edge developments at the intersection of 3D printing and microfluidics, exploring their potential in biofilm research.

✨ A big thank you to our inspiring speakers, Prof. Jim Wilking and Prof. Connie B Change from the Mayo Clinic, MN, USA for insights into 3D printing innovations and a deep dive into microfluidics applications. Your expertise sparked meaningful discussions and exciting new ideas.

🔬 To everyone who joined us, thank you for your enthusiasm and thoughtful contributions. Looking forward to continuing the conversation and fostering new collaborations.

𝘦.𝘉𝘪𝘰𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘮 hosted a Soft Skills Meeting led by Ana Alexandra Pereira on:
“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬”
🔹𝘌𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 is key to unlocking a team’s full potential, especially in the science field!
🔹 Participants explored their individual communication styles—Action, Process, People, or Idea—and gained insights into their unique strengths.

✨ Key finding: The Process style emerged as the most preferred communication style among participants!

[EN] Science on 𝘓𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 conducted at LEPABE, including the e.Biofilm and LegioFilms projects, was featured in the CNN Inovação program, dedicated to technology and scientific innovation.
In the footage, you can catch a glimpse of our e.Biofilm laboratory, where we carry out research on 𝘓𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 as part of our Industrial Systems research line.
Meet our PhD students Ana Barbosa and Sofia Cruz, as they share insights into their doctoral research in this area.

Earlier this month, the 𝘦.𝘉𝘪𝘰𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘮 𝘚𝘰𝘧𝘵 𝘚𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘔𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 focused on “𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭”, presented by Joana Vilas Boas.
During the session, key topics were discussed:
🔹 The importance of effective research data management and the introduction to the FAIR principles.
🔹 The Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) being developed for managing confocal imaging data. 🔬

The event highlighted the critical role of proper data handling before, during, and after the research process—a key element in ensuring reproducibility and reliability in science!

e.Biofilm is committed to strengthening our community’s skills. 💡📊🔬✨
