ITQB NOVA & MPS_NOVA Mentoring Program Launches!
The ITQB NOVA Mentoring Program, supported by the #MPS_NOVA Twinning project, is now underway! This edition connects 18 Mentees with experienced Mentors from research, academia, industry, and scientific publishing across Europe. #Mentoring #EuTwinning
💡 Can we reproduce human physiology in a space as small as a chip? 🧐🔬
This was the big question at our #MPS_NOVA stand during the #ITQBNOVA Open Day.
There will be more events soon! 👋

It's finally out!🎉
We known that the #microbiome confers colonization resistance against #pathogens, we know that some meds 💊 affect gut microbes 🦠
So, do 💊 alter colonization resistance? It turns out that some do! If you wanna know more, check out our latest work www.nature.com/articles/s41...
💥 A gut microbe metabolite that drives #atherosclerosis?
Yes—Imidazole propionate (ImP) triggers vascular inflammation without changing cholesterol.
🧪 We show the pathway—and how to block it.
