RELIANCE posters presentation at the 5^th edition of the International Conference “CBRNE Research and Innovation”, STRASBOURG, FRANCE

Two RELIANCE posters presented the project at the 5^th edition of the CBRNE Research and Innovation Conference held in Strasbourg, France from March

19 to 21, 2024.

Download the first poster here. The second one is titled “Paper-based device for monitoring the effectiveness of environmentally friendly antimicrobial coating”, which presents the findings regarding the ability to detect essential oils on the surface using a paper-based device, with the advantage of simplicity, sustainability, and providing broad and promising applications for detection of these compounds.

The posters were developed by our partners from the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Luca Fiore, Arianna Antinucci, Giorgia Leotta, Laura Fabiani, Pierluca Galloni, Riccardo De Santis, Andrea Ciammaruconi, Giorgia Grilli, Elisa Recchia, Florigio Lista, Fabiana Arduini.

RELIANCE poster presentation at the Medical Biodefense Conference 2023, MUNICH, GERMANY

A poster titled “Molecular basis of antimicrobial properties of green nanocoating effective against virus and bacteria” presented RELIANCE project at the 18th edition of the Medical Biodefense Conference organized by the Bundeswehr Institute of Microbiology (IMB) in Munich, Germany from 23-25 October 2023.

The poster was developed by RELIANCE partners from the Defence Institute for Medical Biosciences, and University of Rome “Tor Vergata”, Department of Chemical Science and Technologies, Rome, Italy.

The poster demonstrates the investigation of the molecular mechanisms of E. coli in response to different concentrations of carvacrol (Ca) by studying differentially expressed genes with RNA-seq analysis, highlighting that the findings suggest that carvacrol may affect biological pathways associated with the inhibition of biofilm formation
