We´re looking forward to seeing you there :)

How to support scientists interested in introducing automated image analysis into their workflows? Discover it in this #FEMSmicroBlog entry. #FascinatedMicrobes #FEMSMicrobiolRev Knut Drescher Hannah Jeckel fems-microbiology.org/femsmicroblog-…

Dave Clark Thanks Dave Clark & Marvin Taylor - I had the pleasure to spend four hours during #i2k202 Janelia Conferences learning about #BiofilmQ with Hannah Jeckel and fellow instructors. It's a very cool & powerful software package. Knut Drescher group at leading edge, once again!

I really enjoyed this workshop and I´m so glad to hear that I was not the only one. For anyone who missed it - a recording will be online soon :)

Interested in learning how to analyse images of microbial communities with BiofilmQ? Here are 3 hours of a hands-on tutorial session from the #BioImageAnalysis #I2K workshop - now on youtube: Intro: youtu.be/IWqyAHaiVLQ Examples: youtu.be/yn6JM78hfzQ

Thrilled to see my first first-author paper on light sheet microscopy published! We improved axial plane optical microscopy by implementing digital confocal slit scanning and carefull objective selection, the DC-APOM! (1/4) doi.org/10.1364/BOE.42…

What distinguishes biofilms of different bacterial species, what do they have in common? Can we isolate the properties impacting biofilm structure? Teaming up with the Dunkel group at MIT, we set out to explore these questions. The result is now on BioRxiv:doi.org/10.1101/2021.0…

Our latest work in the lab of Knut Drescher was published! Thanks to all the co-authors and everyone that helped! I hope you find the manuscript as exciting as we do Spatial alanine metabolism determines local growth dynamics of Escherichia coli colonies doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

In saliva of toddlers with severe childhood tooth decay, we found interkingdom biofilm assemblages. They are stickier, more antimicrobial resistant, more difficult to remove from teeth than either bacteria or fungi alone. And they can crawl across teeth!👇 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

V. cholerae can form biofilm architectures of other species, if cell-cell attraction and cell aspect ratio are tuned. No exchange of extracellular matrix composition required 👉Mechanics is the key driver for early biofilm architecture development. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Bacterial biofilms form on human immune cells: how? Why? 👇 cell.com/cell/fulltext/… W/ Lucia Vidakovic Roi Avraham Alex Persat Sofya Mikhaleva Hannah Jeckel @KerstinMicrob

These workshops are a great opportunity for anyone wanting to get started with BiofilmQ or diving deeper into its functionality. It´s virtual and free, so join us if you´re interested! Looking forward to it :)
