Probably you already know that I'm a researcher and I work
in a microbiology lab, right? You don't? Do you want to know my story? ahah
So, after my Masters in Biomedical Engineering (Universidade
do Minho) in Portugal, my PI offered me this opportunity: to do a phD here in
US, more specifically Richmond, Virginia. I said: why not? It's now or never! I
arrived on October 2010 and so far it has been a great adventure! I still have
about 10 months here, and then I have to go back to Braga and finish my
experiments and writing the thesis there.
This might sound chinese for you but basically I'm studying
the mobilization of pathogenicity islands in Staphylococcus aureus by helper
phages. Please, let me rephrase. Staphylococcus aureus are
"goodfellas" and our body needs them but sometimes they are
opportunistic. Worst: staph are smarter than us; they have a few ways to
replicate themselves and spread virulence! Till now, the antibiotics are
failing like crazy... Is it the end of
the world?
In the mean time, I'll share with you some photos at my lab.

lol lol ainda bem que 'traduziste' o subject do teu estudo por miudos lol lol caso contrário, teria de o fazer eu mesma. coisa que já nem custa tanto uma vez que, por formação, sou comunicadora de ciência e por vezes tenho de traduzir o que é chinês para português perceptível lol lol
