Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major threats to global public health. This year, CNC-UC joins the Go Blue for Awareness campaign, promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO), to emphasize the urgency of addressing this emerging crisis. 🌍 From November 18 to 24, join us in the World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week 2024 and go blue for awareness! 🔬 At CNC-UC, research on AMR is led by the Molecular Mycobacteriology and Microbiome group. 🔗 Learn more about our work in this area: https://lnkd.in/dp2XP3ap 🔗 Know More about the Go Blue for Awareness campaign here: https://lnkd.in/dTZwgw2g Universidade de Coimbra #AMR #AntimicrobialResistance

📚 Human Library: Instead of books, come and read people 🌟 On November 29th, from 5pm to 6pm, come and enjoy a unique experience at the Casa das Artes Bissaya Barreto in Coimbra. Discover fascinating stories told by scientists, our “human books”. ✨ During the event, scientists such as Luís Ribeiro, Luísa Amado, Ricardo Neves, Rosa Fernandes, and Catarina Miranda will share remarkable episodes from their lives. Each “reading” consists of a 30-minute conversation, in which the “human book” begins with its story and challenges the “readers” to interact through questions. 👥 Participation is limited to 25 people (in order of registration). Secure your place now by filling in the form: https://lnkd.in/dvcEVnAv This event is organized by CiBB (CNC-UC, Instituto de Investigação Clínica e Biomédica de Coimbra (iCBR), MIA Portugal, GeneT), in collaboration with Coimbra Coolectiva and Casa das Artes Bissaya Barreto. Take part and discover stories of overcoming, achievements and challenges in a unique format. ✨ #CiênciaParaTodos #CiBB #BibliotecaHumana

Researchers from CNC-UC have identified new gut biomarkers that could enable early detection of Parkinson's disease. 👏 👏 Through collaboration with specialists in molecular biology and neurology, the team discovered inflammatory markers and the presence of alpha-synuclein in the gut, which appear long before the disease progresses to the brain. 🧠 This finding indicates that routine procedures, such as colonoscopies with biopsy, could be the key to identifying Parkinson's disease at an early stage, potentially slowing down its progression. This study opens the door to preventive strategies and new therapies that target Parkinson's disease in its early stages, offering hope of better outcomes for patients.
