‼️ GENTLE REMINDER ‼️ Only 1 week left to register!
Don’t miss this opportunity to come together and discuss the hottest topics in Drosophila research!
Join us in Pamela to enjoy great science, sun, and of course… pastéis de nata!
We can’t wait to see you there!
Zita’s Keynote Speaker Debut! Huge thanks to the @drosospain.bsky.social organisers for the invitation! It has been a blast hearing about all the fantastic work our neighbours are doing!!!
Wow! We are now supported by both the company of biologists and EMBO! I am so proud of our organising team!
We would also like to thank @gimminstitute.bsky.social and @promegacorporation.bsky.social for their sponsorship, which played a key role in making this event a big success!
The 1st Metabolism & Physiology Day took place at @gimminstitute.bsky.social . It was a day full of engaging discussions and scientific exchange within the community, sparking new ideas and potential collaborations.
We would like to thank Sara Violante, for the amazing expert talk. 🧵
A big thank u to the entire organizing team who made this possible, from logistics (GIMM Communication Team, Madalena Pinto, @nunovalenteleal.bsky.social, @carvalhosantosz.bsky.social, and Ana Patrícia Francisco) to the visual identity (Catarina Cavaleiro)! We hope this becomes a yearly tradition!
Finally, kudos to two members from our lab!
Raquel Nóbrega won the 2nd prize for best oral communication and @nunovalenteleal.bsky.social took home the best poster presentation award - congratulations to both! 🎉
What are the next steps toward understanding how metabolism shapes physiology?
In our new Perspective, we explore this through a study from the Schirmeier Lab (doi.org/10.1113/JP28...). The authors show how neuronal PPP regulates redox balance by combining Drosophila genetics and metabolic sensor.
