From the GLEON meeting in Banyoles (Spain) to the Congress of the Italian Society of Ecology (SItE) in Genova (Italy), our project was presented at two scientific events, offering opportunities to share our work and connect with the research community.

Both events were valuable occasions to exchange ideas, hear different perspectives, and meet researchers working on related topics. We look forward to building on these connections, exploring new ideas, and seeing where these exchanges might lead to future collaborations!

Our new laboratory is taking shape! As part of the project PANIC, we are pleased to welcome one of our first instruments: the FlowCam 8400.

This highly versatile flow imaging microscopy system combines automated imaging with 532 nm laser-induced fluorescence, enabling the detection, visualization, and characterization of aquatic microorganisms based on their morphology and fluorescence properties.

The FlowCam 8400 will provide new opportunities for aquatic research and environmental monitoring and represents an exciting first step in building our laboratory’s analytical capabilities.
