Gamze Tanriver was representing our group at GGMM XXIVth congress which take place in the city of Forge-Les-Eaux, in the Normandie region of France, from June 10 to June 12, 2025. relevant publication:Tracking water transport inside enzymes and the impact of water models, Gamze Tanriver, Karolina Mitusińska , Maria Bzówka, Aravind Selvaram Thirunavukarasu, Katarzyna Szleper, Agata Raczyńska, Weronika Bagrowska, Tomasz Magdziarz, Jan Brezovsky, Artur Góra, 24th of International Conference of Group of Graphism and Molecular Modelling (GGMM25), France, June 10-12,2025.

Our grant application in collaboration with group of prof. Tomasz Borowski from Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry Polish Academy of Sciences was funded by National Science Centre in Poland. We will start searching for new postdoc and student soon.

Congratulations to Agata!! She had brilliant defense of her thesis BIODEGRADATION OF SYNTHETIC POLYMERS WITH THE USE OF ENZYMES, Polish-French Joint Doctorate under Dr. Isabelle André and Dr. Artur Góra supervision. Thanks to all who came to support her, and to her reviewers Silvia Osuna from University de Girona, Marco Fraaije from University of Groningen and Vicent Moliner from Universitat Jaume I. The great scientific journey has started!!

Title: “Comparison of antimicrobial assays to analyze bioactive low molecular peptides derived from Lucilia sericata maggot secretion.” The focus was straightforward: how we measure antimicrobial activity directly shapes what we consider “promising.” Different assays, different conclusions—and that matters when identifying real candidates for wound therapy. The results reinforce the potential of larval secretions as a source of novel low-molecular-weight antimicrobial peptides and compounds worth researching.#BioactivePeptides #Antimicrobial #WoundTherapy #EPS #ItPS
