MicroPath welcomes Benedikte Bøe as our new group technician. Benedikte background is an M.Sc. in biotechnology for NTNU. We look forward to working with you the coming years.
We congratulate dr. Elisabeth Opsjøn Lampe with her PhD entitled "The fish pathogen Francisella noatunensis subsp noatunensis: viruelence factor characterization and vaccine development". Thanks to the evaluation committee consisting of Prof Marina Santic, senior scientist Jean-Pierre Levraud and Liv Mathiesen for the evaluation of the thesis and interesting discussion of Elisabeth's work.
A new collaborative publication out on the function of extracellular vesicles secreted from the porcine pathogenic bacterium Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae. The work was mainly performed by the PhD student Zhuang Zhu in the laboratory of Miki Bojesen at the Veterinary School, University of Copenhagen.
Ellen Beate Tysvær (left) is doing her BSc in biosciences at Department of Biosciences, UiO. She received a fellowship from UiO:Life Sciences to work as a summer student in the MicroPath group. She is working on a project isolating extracellular vesicles from E. coli expressing outer membrane proteins from the fish bacterial pathogen Yersinia ruckeri and testing them as a vaccine against the disease yersiniosis in aquaculture. Ellen-Beate is supervised by our PhD student Verena Mertes (right) in the laboratory.
Gabriela Paz Carril Leiva is an associated PhD student of the MicroPath group. Gabriela is form Chile and is doing her PhD at NMBU on interaction of the fish pathogen P. salmonis with its host, the Atlantic salmon. Gabriela has prof Henning Sørum as her main supervisor, and Prof Hanne C. Winther-Larsen and Marie Løvoll (VESO) as co-supervisors on this project. This spring Gabriela defended her 3rd semester evaluation at NMBU.
PhD student Verena Mertes was part of the organizing body of the The National Graduate School in Infection Biology and Antimicrobials (IBA) annual meeting 2022. She also presented her scientific work at the poster session.
PhD student Verena Mertes could after two years of the Covid-19 pandemic finally participate at the Fish Immunology workshop in Wageningen, The Netherlands.
PhD student Verena Mertes participates and present her work at the poster session at the International Society of Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) annual meeting 2022 in Lyon, France.
MSc Rebekka Rolfsnes, an employee of the Norwegian start-up biotech company Adjutec Pharma, started her PhD with us the first of April 2022. We are glad to have Rebekka back in the group after she did her MSc thesis with us in 2020 on bacterial fish vaccines. Rebekka will do her PhD on the project entitled: The novel antimicrobial resistance breaker APC247 – studies on mechanism of action (MoA) and resistance development to a putative dual SBL/MBL inhibitor. The project is funded by the Norwegian Research Council.
Lucia is an ERASMUS+ exchange student from the university in Valencia. She will work together with our PhD candidate Verena Mertes on a project to create green and red fluorescent versions of the fish pathogenic bacterium Yersinia ruckeri. Lucia is staying with us from March to the summer of 2022.
