Extraction of biofilm matrix for proteomic analyses - A proof-of-concept study

Project type: Master In nature, the predominant lifestyle of bacteria is living in polymicrobial communities. Most bacteria live in so-called biofilm communities in which cells are embedded in a self-produced…

Investigating anti-predator properties of bacterial multispecies biofilm communities

Project Type: Master In nature, microorganisms such as bacteria, archaea, fungi, or single-celled eukaryotes live and interact in various microenvironments. These inter-microbial interactions impact fitness and survival…

Bacteria control their metabolism when going into biofilm formation

In a new paper out now in Cell Reports, a research team from Costerton Biofilm Center at the Department of Immunology and Microbiology (ISIM), University of Copenhagen - with Assistant professor Mads Lichtenberg,…

Warring genetic parasites could lead to new defenses against dangerous bacteria

Plasmids – a type of autonomous genetic parasites in bacteria – are armed with a previously unknown arsenal of CRISPR-Cas "gene tools" that are frequently deployed to combat other plasmids, according to research from th…

Danish researchers discover new hiding place for antibiotic resistance

Genes that make bacteria resistant to antibiotics can persist longer than it was previously believed. This was recently shown in a new University of Copenhagen study that reports a previously unknown hiding place for…

Widespread vaginal condition could lead to emergency caesarean section

An imbalance in the vaginal bacteria of pregnant women is associated with an increased risk of emergency cesarean section. This is demonstrated in a new study by scientific researchers at the University of Copenhagen an…

From CBMR to Intomics: Julia Villarroel

Julia Villarroel is a bioinformatics scientist at Intomics, a Danish company that uses insights from big biomedical data to help pharmaceutical companies develop new drugs.

Ancient “Chewing Gum” Yields Insights into People and Bacteria of the Past

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have succeeded in extracting a complete human genome from a thousands-of-years old “chewing gum”.

New discoveries map out CRISPR-Cas defence systems in bacteria

For the first time ever, researchers at the University of Copenhagen have mapped how bacterial cells trigger their defence against outside attacks. This could affect how diseases are fought in the future.
