The Power of Dynamic Analyses in Biofilm Research

Biofilms are three-dimensional communities of microbes attached to a surface or to each other. Most researchers are very aware of biofilms' spatial heterogeneity; however, their heterogeneity in time is usually ignored.

In this webinar, Dr. Bastiaan Krom, Professor at the University of Amsterdam, will illustrate the power of dynamic visualization of microbial biofilms as he discusses how his laboratory has elucidated  time-dependent processes in microbial biofilms.

Attend this webinar to: 

• Learn about the importance of Candida albicans binding for host invasion and the hitch-hiking mechanism. 
• Explore the role of adhesion for oral biofilms and the importance of human buccal cells in the initiation of oral biofilms.
• Hear about the discovery of a novel oral biofilm growth and dispersal process.
