      After some months, I have discovered that my bacteria have very refined needs and they need a warm bath to grow, they only eat very specific type of ¨food¨…they have to be treated like a prince if I want them to grow!

      Hi tree393ear,

      I don’t think I have discovered anything yet. But I have designed a portable, economic and low-energy consuming device that one day will find applications in a hospital (to detect particular molecules in human breath) or in detection of some gases in the atmosphere.

      The most interesting discovery I made was about how autoimmune antibodies from lupus patients enter cells. I found out what mechanism they use and linked this back to their amino acid sequence.
