Our collaboration with the SafeFoodgroup from the Faculty of Pharmacy in University of Porto has materialized in a paper entitled Multiple molecular components of Listeria monocytogenes affected by high pressure processing treatments: Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy insights. This paper was presented at the 8th Congress of European Microbiologists - FEMS2019 - which was held in Glasgow, Scotland (7-11 July 2019). FlorentinaBucur represented our team to this scientific event, a unique forum for interdisciplinary dialogue and discussion between all microbiological specialties ranging from basic research to applied and across all sectors - academic, policy, business, educational and communications.
