🎄 May your days be filled with wins, bright ideas, bold moves - and maybe a little bit of luck, too! 🍀 Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year from the Gizeli Group

📢 New #Publication🧬 We're excited to share our latest scientific contribution addressing one of today's most pressing environmental health challenges: #Tick_borne challenges in a changing climate – risks and mitigation strategies. 🔗Read more: tinyurl.com/2a96svsu @imbb-forth.bsky.social

📢 The Gizeli Group joined #InnoDays Crete 2025, showcasing our rapid 35-min #Salmonella test using gold nanoparticles for simple, equipment-free color detection. Great discussions on biosensors, #One_Health, and our EU projects: #DxHub, #Aquabioscence & #UniHealth

🧪We are delighted to host Kaouther Ayouni from the Institut Pasteur of Tunisia as part of #UniHealth project. We will co-develop a novel assay for #West_Nile_virus applied directly to urine & mosquito samples. This advances the #One_Health approach & preparedness through collaborative science.🔬

📢 We are heading to innodays.gr, where we’ll be showing something we’ve been working hard on, a rapid #Salmonella_test powered entirely by #gold_nanoparticles! It delivers a color result in just 35', no fancy equipment. Drop by to see how a bit of science & a bit of gold can make change diagnostics!

👏Congrats to Prof. Electra Gizeli on receiving the #Fulbright Visiting Scholar Award! 🎓 She’ll be joining Harvard Medical School to advance rapid point-of-care diagnostic technology. A major step for innovation & collaboration between University of Crete/IMBB & Harvard. @gizeligroup.bsky.social

In Oct 2025, Anastasia Galanopoulou & Eugenia Papastefanaki visited Prof. Jan Felix Drexler’s lab (Virus Epidemiology Group, Charité) to validate our new Zika virus assay. Together with Arne Kühne & Nadine Olk, we confirmed assay performance in crude samples — a key #UniHealthEU milestone! 💡🧪

🌿 The Gizeli Group out of the lab and into nature! A day spent walking in nature, sharing laughs, and ending it with amazing food. Nothing like quality time with brilliant minds! 💙 Team bonding at its best 💙

👏 Proud moment!Prof. Electra Gizeli is ranked among the World’s Top 2% Scientists (Stanford Univ., USA). Her pioneering work in biosensors & molecular diagnostics drives innovation in health & environment. Congrats also to Profs. Zouros & Koumoundouros! 🎉 #Science #Innovation #Biosensors
