Differentiation of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells into Endothelial Cells

Project entitled: Differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells into endothelial cells. Project aim was to develop a stem cell-based product to rebuild blood vessels.

Projects entitled "Mucoid phenotype switch complex in Burkholderia multivorans clinical isolates” and “Regulation of exopolysaccharide biosynthesis and virulence Burkholderia cepacia". The aim of the projects were to shed a light on the virulence mechanisms of a bacteria, in order to be able to develop therapeutic strategies to fight the bacterial infections in humans.
