Explorations on the associated microbiome of marine invertebrates

The work undertaken by one of our undergrad students, Luís Tanoeiro, on the microbiome of Eulalia resulted in 16S rna tags for novel bacterial strains:

Project GreenTech at IMMR 2018

A.P. Rodrigo presented the latest results from GreenTech at this year's IMMR (International Meeting on Marine Research), at Peniche, Portugal,(an oral communication). We highlight the work done to charcterise new fluorophores from Eulalia. See further details here: 10.3389/conf.FMARS.2018.06.00015.

Post-Doc positions available!

Projects GreenTech (ongoing) and WormALL (beginning next october) offer positions (stipend and contract) do post-doc researchers, preferentially with expertise in Marine Biology or related field. These are multidisciplinary research projects dedicated to Marine Biotechnology (especially bioprospection for novel natural products, with emphasis on toxins), Ecology, Molecular Biology, Marine Animal Physiology & Aquatic Toxicology. Previous expertise in one of these disciplines is most welcome.

New article just accepted!

The SeaTox team just got new publication accepted, in the Journal of Anatomy. Online publication should happen very very soon.

Ana Rita C. Duarte is among the 25 "Emerging Investigators"

The Journal of Chemical & Engineering Data launched a Special Issue Emerging Investigators, which focuses on 25 researchers who will be defining the field of chemical thermodynamics over the coming decades.

August scientific events

Next August 2018, Des.solve will be present in some scientific events, such as the 7th EuCheMS Chemistry Congress (Liverpool, UK), the 10th EuCheMS Organic Division Young Investigators Workshop (Oxford, UK) and the BioBarriers 2018 (Saarbrücken, Germany).

O projeto

O Inovstone 4.0 – Tecnologias Avançadas e Software para a Pedra Natural é um Projeto Mobilizador do Plano de Ação do Cluster dos Recursos Minerais. Este Projeto surge da necessidade de evidenciar a capacidade dinâmica do Setor das Rochas Ornamentais (RO) e, simultaneamente, reforçar a sua competitividade face ao novo modelo digital de procurement, nomeadamente em contexto BuildingInformation Model (BIM).
