A while ago we embarked on the most exciting project with @gomez_mariscal at @HenriquesLab. Phototoxicity Fitness Time Trial or #PhotoFiTT assay is a label-free method to measure cellular behavior and detect phototoxic effects during live-cell imaging https://t.co/4KWETq3fgk

🦠🔬🤖🧑‍💻 #mAIcrobe is out! With Pinho's lab, we launched an open-source framework for high-throughput bacterial image analysis. By rockstars @Antonio_DBrito & @Bruno_MSaraiva et al, making #DeepLearning for phenotyping accessible! Easy + model training https://t.co/HI96OJzCKi

Cool news about #RxivMaker. Lots of new features 🏃. An rxiv-markdown manuscript can have embedded code that helps keep your data updated (e.g. inserting number of samples by reading data like .xls). Both #RxivMaker and #mAIcrobe preprints written with it https://t.co/Ew8zu9A2OC

🧬 Community Workshop #2 🔍 "Stretching the Limits: Exploring Biology with Expansion Microscopy" Achieve super-res results using standard microscopes! Learn ExM principles, workflow & practical tips. Led by experts from ITQB NOVA 🇵🇹. #SPAOM2025 #Microscopy #ExM

As part of our commitment to Open Access, we support libraries, consortia and researchers. For #OAWeek, we share a recent webinar that includes tips and recommendations for navigating the editorial process and publishing #OA https://t.co/sqHSWyKhRF #OAWeek25

New preprint alert!! In our last work we have found that Tissue stiffening primes migratory cell states by allowing histone serotonylation! #biomechanics #xenopus #chromatin #neuralcrest #devbio #cellmigration #frogpower https://t.co/r5miQldHxh

Just wrapped up the StartUp Research Program with @ArisDaria and @ImaanTamimi! 🚀 Grateful to @itqbnova, @NovaSBE & @OeirasValley for the chance to pitch our project and explore the path from science to entrepreneurship.

👏Congratulating to researchers @ArisDaria & @_mariod for their post-graduation in the StartUp Research Program where they had to develop a startup project and present it to a panel of experts and venture capital reps.🎯 @itqbnova @NovaSBE @OeirasValley @NIMSB_NOVA @STABVIDA

Had the pleasure of supervising a motivated student during @itqbnova's Summer Science programme. In just one week, she dove into cell culturing, expansion microscopy and image analysis! Grateful to the organisers for making it all possible. #SummerScience #ExM #Microscopy

#OeirasValleyScienceFestival was a blast! With 22.000 participants, the energy was incredible. @HenriquesLab delivered an amazing talk and researchers @ArisDaria and @_Mariod were busy all day sharing the wonders of microscopy🔬with diapers🍼- Curious to know how they relate?🤔💭

In the past week we welcomed students from Escola Amélia Rey Colaço at @itqbnova Researchers @ArisDaria & @_mariod demonstrated the principle expansion microscopy was originated from- Baby Diapers👶 We have our lab doors open to young minds to show them how research can be fun!👩‍🔬

New pre-print alert 🚨⚠️ @HenriquesLab just published a pre-print on framework to auto generate pre-prints from simple text. Interested to use it for your research? 📃Read more about it at:

Our researcher @afonsomendes92 & collaborator @christlet just published on @NatureComms. They developed a new analysis tool that automatically finds repeating patterns in structures in biological images without prior knowledge. Read it at: https://t.co/9iHRIljS82 @Bruno_MSaraiva

🚀#SReD, our #OpenSource #imagej plugin for automatic detection and quantitative analysis of repetitive biological structures in microscopy image just launched! Check it out: https://t.co/YhMnX5Enip Special thanks to @HenriquesLab @Bruno_MSaraiva @Micromede @christlet

🧾New paper now on @NatureProtocols! 🎉The #ExSRRF protocol gives you all details on how to merge Expansion Microscopy technique with #eSSRF analysis. Developed by Hannah Heil @HenriquesLab and Dominik Kylies @PuellesVictor 🔗:

Grateful to receive the 2024 Early Career Research Award with Raquel Portela for our InfectoFiTT project! 🦠🔬 We are uncovering how S. aureus interacts with host cells thanks to @itqbnova, @PDA_ITQB_NOVA @MunicipioOeiras, and all who support this journey. #ECRA #HostPathogen

Last Friday we celebrated @itqbnova Day!🎂🥂 In the ceremony, 𝗘𝗖𝗥𝗔 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗲 was awarded to @_mariod & @PPortela_Raquel in recognition of their outstanding proposal: InfectoFITT.🏅 The award was presented by @OeirasValley Councillor @PedroPatacho & Verónica Amparo #Sarstedt

🏖️ Summer at @itqbnova means Summer Science - summer's internship programme for undergraduates. Our lab welcomed one motivated student supervised by @_mariod. 👩‍🔬Students got to experience 27h of hands-on lab work and a sailing baptism!⛵ Read about it at: https://t.co/QJTI8rtdx7

🚨We're soon opening 3 postdoctoral positions in #AIDrivenBiology. Seeking biologists (especially microbiology and infection biology), computer scientists, and microscopy developers. Ideal if you're eager to use or develop next-gen tech for cell biology. Get in touch (DM/email)

A really nice paper out today from the Wang lab describing OmiCLIP, a visual–omics foundation model linking H&E images and transcriptomics, and the associated Loki analysis toolkit. https://t.co/LSe29Ll2gQ

🌟After tons of fun and work BiaPy is finally out! 🔗 https://t.co/sQT716LLhZ Big thanks to all the collaborators, especially to Daniel Franco-Barranco (his brain and heart) and Ignacio Arganda-Carreras (brave co-supervisora).
