Multiple grants for our lab 🎊 03 2026

Grants are in the house! 🎊
Multiple lab members secured substantial funding for ongoing and future projects:

Dr. Alejandro Guerrero López received the highly competitive Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships (only 9.6% acceptance rate) for the OUTBRAID project. The project aims to transform hospital outbreak detection by developing machine learning models that analyse MALDI-TOF mass spectra, complemented by WGS-derived relatedness metrics. Cheers to 2 years funding! 

PhD candidate Zoey Germuskova was awarded the ESCMID Individual Research Grant for her ongoing project on the rare zoonotic pathogen Capnocytophaga and the Global Capnocytophaga Consortium. Go team Capno!

PhD candidate Elisa Sosa secured a SNF mobility grant (formerly Doc.Mobility) for a 6-months research stay with Dr. Gerry Tonkin-Hill at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Yeah mate!

Congratulations to all grantees, well done!
