Members of ValgepeaLab attended the Clostridium XVIII conference held at the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP) Brazil and showcased their research by presenting scientific posters and giving talks. It was a fascinating opportunity to share our latest research, exchange ideas with fellow scientists, and learn about new advancements in the field.
We are proud of our PhD student, Ugochi Jennifer Nwaokorie who won the award for second best poster presentation. Congratulations to her on this wonderful achievement!
Beyond the scientific programme, the conference included a guided tour of the Jardim Botânico Plantarum – biggest botanical garden in Latin America to explore the Brazilian native flora and fauna. Clostridium XVIII was a rewarding and inspiring experience for our group. We would like to sincerely thank the organisers, Luana Walravens Bergamo and Daniel Olson for their warm hospitality, excellent organisation and engaging programme.
We are super excited and honored to host Clostridium XIX at University of Tartu in 2028. Looking forward to sharing more of our research with the Clostridium community – stay tuned for more info!
