Welcome dinner & beer for newcomers

There have been major personnel changes in our team in recent weeks. And now, we are very pleased to welcome the new postdoc Soumajit, the future PhD student Tereza and Chiara from Italy, who is doing an internship with us.

Chiara Kalebic, a PhD student from the Italian International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) in Trieste, joined us as part of a joint project of the Norwegian funds (TBFVnet) between our lab and the Marcello lab. She gave a presentation on the topic of her work, in which she will partly use the tools developed in our lab. Afterwards, we had fun trying out the new BSL4 suit, which is already being prepared mainly for teaching purposes within the virology program at Masaryk University.

We ended the day with an informal dinner with a good beer. :-)
