Internship in environmental microbiology: from the field to the laboratory
| Resumo: | ABSTRACT The second year of the master’s in clinical-laboratory Technologies includes the curricular unit Project/Thesis/Internship, in which you can choose the type of internship, present a report on the activities carried out at the end. The internship was professional and took place between 11 September 2023 and 20 June 2024 in the Environmental and Occupational Microbiology laboratory at the Health & Technology Research Centre. During this time, 3 PhD projects were carried out to assess occupational/environmental exposure to microbiological agents, namely fungi and bacteria, in different environments. Environmental sampling campaigns were carried out as well as the laboratory activities involved in preparing and analysing the samples obtained. Sample processing consisted of applying classical microbiology techniques and using molecular biology methods as a complement. The internship allowed me to consolidate the knowledge acquired during the first year of the course and acquire other knowledge, and new practical skills related to the area of environmental microbiology and to produce scientific work (articles, abstracts for conferences, and scientific posters) and to reflect on other possible study projects. |
