In a recent study published in Nature Communications, the BAMBBI team shows how specialized nanotopographies combat tough Gram-positive bacteria, using cutting-edge 3D X-ray imaging to observe single cells from within. The fact that we are fighting bacteria with surfaces designed at the nanoscale, instead of with traditional antibiotics, represents a major shift in the field.

Four researchers have participated in the 35th Annual Conference of the European Society for Biomaterials, a landmark meeting coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the institution's founding, representing the ERC-funded BAMBBI project.
