Sandra Sousa and Sílvia Vale-Costa participated for the first time at the Europneumo25: the European meeting on the molecular biology of the pneumococcus. They were both selected for oral presentations (out of 150 participants), to demonstrate how plasma membrane repair mechanisms can be harnessed to fight Streptococcus pneumoniae infection, the leading cause of pneumonia worldwide.
