Event Details

Location: Santo Amaro Beach, Oeiras Organizers: ITQB NOVA and CM Oeiras

Project Overview

InfectoBIT is developing tools to observe bacterial infection processes, such as Staphylococcus aureus in cells, using AI-powered microscopy.

The project combines: - Super-resolution microscopy - Machine learning algorithms for automated detection - Quantitative analysis of host-pathogen interactions - Live-cell imaging techniques

Collaboration

The work integrates expertise from the Henriques Lab (AI-driven microscopy and image analysis) and the IMIB Group (microbiology and bacterial pathogenesis), funded through the European Research Awards (ECRA) for early-career researcher collaboration.
