Today we say goodbye (with slightly heavy hearts and very stained lab coats) to our two Erasmus visiting students, Beatriz and Carolina, from Coimbra-Portugal!🌍 They have spent the last few months knee-deep in pomace extracts, battling DPPH radicals like true Queens of Antioxidants. 🧪⚡
Thank you girls for your brilliant work, endless enthusiasm, and for making the lab a much livelier (and slightly more purple) place! Wishing you all the best for your next adventures — may your future be as bright as a well-reduced DPPH solution! 💜✨

From March 24-26, our team members Fabio and Italo attended M.I.C.e.R.Co. – the 3rd Meeting of the Italian C. elegans Research Community at the Mario Negri Institute, Milan (Italy).
🧬 March 24: Hands-on theoretical-practical workshop on C. elegans in biomedical and pharmacological research.
📢 March 25-26: Engaging talks and discussions.
📌 Fabio presented a poster: “Phenotypic screening of SG-compounds as autophagy promoters in a C. elegans model of AD: a multiparametric analysis”
A huge thank you to the organizing committee – Luisa Diomede, Carmina Natale, Margherita Romeo, and Maria Monica Barzago – for putting together such a fantastic event! 👏
It was an incredible opportunity to share knowledge, connect with researchers, and contribute to the growing C. elegans community. Looking forward to future collaborations!
