Our lab has establised an innovative method to determine the reproductive fitness of bacteria when in competitive interaction with each other.
Using an Arduino robot with 3D-printable parts and open-source software, it is easy to print your own setup for Bacterial Quantitative Fitness Analysis (BaQFA). Find out mor at the dedicated BaQFA website.

Although we are chronically low on lab space, the SDB LAB has awsome equipment and the resources to acquire what's need for our projects.
Our lab members actively engage in teaching at an academic level. We do University lectures, case presentations, journal clubs, clinical bedside teachings, seminar series on evidence based medicine, and clinical skills training (and the occational beer session for applied physiology).
