Our very own Vidhisha Sonawane will be competing at the FameLab Germany final on Thursday (25/05/23). Best of luck to Vidhisha and the other finalists! #FameLab #FameLabGermany #FameLab23 #ScienceCommunication #STEM #MepAnti_ITN
WorldMalariaDay
Today is #WorldMalariaDay. To raise awareness of this infectious disease, our doctoral student Patricia Bravo, from the Philippines, gives us some insight into malaria and our work at the consortium. #Malaria #Plasmodium #BSL2 #Antimalarials #DrugDiscovery #SwissTPH #MepAnti_ITN
FameLab Germany
Yesterday, some of our doctoral students presented their research at the FameLab science communication competition in Germany. Our MepAnti PhD students communicated the Antimicrobial Resistance issue to the public and explained different approaches on how to tackle it. A special congratulations to Vidhisha who got 2nd place! #FameLab #FameLab23 #Karlsruhe #ScienceCommunication #STEM #MepAnti_ITN

Mepanti Outreach
In March, our doctoral student Thibaut Quennesson, from France, tells us about his outreach activity in a French high school.
Annual meeting in Bergen
This week we met in Bergen to share our latest findings and endeavors, learn a bit more about proteomics in a lecture by Dr. Hannes Hahne, CEO at OmicScouts, explore PyMOL’s utilities in a workshop by Dr. Peer Lukat, from the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research and hear about the tools BioSolveIT provides for Drug Discovery by Dr. Alexander Neumann. We were able to thrive in the city’s rainy weather and have a nice hike in one of its mountains. Also, between presentations and in the evening, we had a good time together. #mepantiITN
MepAnti Summer School 2022
Last week we had a wondurful time in Groningen during the MepAnti Summer School about Fragments in Drug Discovery. On behalf of all the participants, we would like to thank everyone involved and of course the University of Groningen for hosting us.
We learned a lot about X-ray and STD-NMR fragment screenings and their analysis from our speakers with an academic and industrial backgrounds. We also had some interesting soft-skills training and great practical sessions. Special thanks to Victor, Matthew, Rick, and Zayana for allowing us to use your laboratory and organizing everything. The week went very smoothly, great job!

Kick-off meeting part II
We are very excited to have had our Mepanti kickoff meeting last Friday. It was great to hear all of the project partners share their expertise and we are eager to make a lasting contribution to the fight against Antimicrobial Resistance and the development of novel anti-infectives! More information about our kick-off meeting can be found at our social media pages.
February 2021 – Kick-off meeting
The kick-off meeting will be organized online on the fifth of February 2021 by the network coordinator (Prof. Dr. Anna K. H. Hirsch). All ESRs and supervisors will gather to discuss the objectives of the MepAnti project. Each ESR will briefly present his/her research project and every member of the consortium will give a short description of their skills and expertise.
