SURFBIO launches two online open courses
SURFBIO project partners have been working on two Massive Open Online Courses to introduce anyone interested to the field of colloid and surface biology.
Interview | Colloid Biology: a New Field of Scientific Research
Ales Lapanje, Tomaz Rijavec (JSI) and Rocío Barros (ICCRAM-UBU) are interviewed by UBUInvestiga -the Scientific dissemination platform of the University of Burgos-.
The Week of Microbial Technologies was a great success
The Microbial Technologies Week was a great success thanks to the attendance of more than 100 people interested in the field and related scientific topics. The #MicroTechWeek was held on...
The JSI participated in the FEMS Conference
Our partners from the Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) participated in the FEMS Conference on Microbiology, in Belgrade, Serbia.
Looking into things… using GeoPET
Researchers wanting to investigate the fate of contaminants in the environment face one challenge: most of nature is opaque...
What is colloid biology?
Colloid biology is a new field of science combining knowledge of colloid physic, chemistry, and traditional microbiological methods.
SURFBIO in the ASM Microbe conference
The Jozef Stefan Institute participated in the ASM Microbe conference, by American Society for Microbiology, in Washington (USA).
Systems Biology to study cell-surface interactions
Systems Biology we work to understand living systems, how they change over time and how they respond to the environment.
Stakeholders: who are they and why are they important?
Stakeholders are the VIP in a specific project or idea, as they are interested in the project they can influence it or be affected by it.
Crosstalk between transcriptomics and metabolomics
We define genotype as the set of genes that a living being has been “awarded” with, while genes mostly code for proteins.
How much you know about biofilms?
Biofilms are associations of microorganisms that are attached to different surfaces, where they can grow and live.
What is proteomics?
Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins produced by living organisms and it is related to the study of colloid and surface research.
Raman Spectroscopy: a technique to detect bacteria
A non-destructive chemical analysis technique to obtain information about the composition or characteristics of a material.
Surfbio, part of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science
Only 33% of researchers are women, they are awarded less research funding than men and are less likely to be promoted".
Using radioactivity in colloid biology
Radioactivity is the decay of instable atoms. Its use in controlled laboratory experiments comes with several outstanding benefits.
What is an Innovation Hub?
The aim of the SurfBio project is to create a Hub where all stakeholders can find common ground on Colloid Biology Research.
Cultivating anaerobic bacteria in aerobic conditions
Do you know what is an anaerobic bacteria? And an aerobic condition? How do we get anaerobic bacteria in our guts? Find out more.
SurfBio team holds last meeting of the year
The main scope of the meeting was to define a data delivery protocol and develop a sustainable repository of the Innovation Hub.
Training: Analytical methods
Webinars on analytical methods for the study of microbial cell- surface and Surface-colloid interactions, by SURFBIO team.
Training: wet dry methodologies
Find the material distributed to participants of the training on 'Wet-dry methodologies for studying cell-surface and cell-cell interactions’.
