Invitation to: Central European Summer Course on Mycology, Szeged, 5-9.7.2010.

Web-urednik (Kosalec) — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 21:04:47 +0100

The course addresses both the fundamental principles and techniques of molecular biology, genetics, genomics and diagnostics of pathogenic fungal species. Students gain an in-depth knowledge of pathogenic mechanisms, molecular genetics, and the biochemistry of important virulence factors. Other topics include phylogenomics as a new way to discover disease mechanisms, host adaptation mechanisms of pathogenic fungi, epidemiology, molecular typing, analysis of extracellular elements of pathogenic fungal species and much more. A detailed scientific program can be found here. Each lecture directly relates molecular biology to current laboratory techniques. The laboratory portion of the course represents different experimental projects. A combination of

Invitation: Power of Microbes, Malinska, Croatia, 2010, 22-25.9.2010.

In the year 2002 Croatian, Hungarian and Slovenian microbiological societies organised a joint meeting "Power of microbes in industry and environment" in Opatija, Croatia, covering some of the most prominent topics of applied microbiology. Five years later the second meeting with a similar scope was held in Zadar, Croatia, this time with the Czechoslovak society joining the family of co-organisers. It was at that meeting when a decision was made to continue the series of symposia every three years thus it is our pleasure to invite you to "Power of microbes in industry and environment 2010". The meeting will this

Invitation: John Innes/Rudjer Bo�kovi� Summer Schools in Applied Molecular Microbiology, 2009.

Web-urednik (Kosalec) — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:06:30 +0100

These summer schools are intended for scientists at post-graduate and early post-doctoral level, or early career industrial scientists. The first, entitled "Microbial Genomics and Secondary Metabolites”, was held at the Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences (MedILS), Split, Croatia in 2007.

The third Summer School in the series will be at the IUC in Dubrovnik, August 21 - 29 2010. The title will be "Microbial Metabolites: Signals to Drugs".

Invitation for the Congress 2008

Web-urednik (Kosalec) — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:22:35 +0100

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we invite you to attend Fourth Croatian Congress of Microbiology with International Participation scheduled for September 24-27, 2008 in Zadar, Croatia.

The programme committee will design an interesting programme with keynote and section lectures and poster discussion.

All important aspects of microbiology will be covered. All our previous congresses were organised at the Adriatic Sea: in Opatija, on Brijuni islands and in Pore�. This time, we will enjoy the natural and cultural beauties of Zadar, Dalmatian

Invitation for the Adenoviruses Workshop

Web-urednik (Kosalec) — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:14:27 +0100

The main goal of this meeting is to provide PhD students and young postdocs with basic knowledge on adenovirus biology (virus replication and translation, pathogenesis, virus cell interactions), construction of adenovirus vectors (including the production of replication deficient vectors and packaging cell lines, the benefits and deficits of deletions of subsets or all the viral genes in the vector, the logic behind conditionally replicating adenoviruses), retargeting (transductional and translational targeting) and the use of Ads in the field of cancer gene therapy (interaction between Ads and the immune system including innate immunity, acquired immunity, and strategies for circumventing

FEMS history

Web-urednik (Kosalec) — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 13:47:30 +0100

History
FEMS has from its small but sure beginnings grown into a dynamic organization that links forty-six member societies from thirty-six countries. Here you will find a reasonably comprehensive chronicle of FEMS in a narrative style. It is based on "The Federation of European Microbiological Societies: An Historical Review", by Edwin A. Dawes, FEMS Microbiology Letters 100 (1992) 15-24, with more recent activities added throughout the text.

The Beginnings
The first federation of microbiological societies in Europe was a geographically-restricted consortium

European Declaration for Microbiology

Web-urednik (Kosalec) — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 13:37:24 +0100

EUROPEAN DECLARATION OF MICROBIOLOGY

Microbiology, the science of microbes (viruses, bacteria, algae, protozoa and fungi) has a long and continuing tradition in Europe since Antonie van Leeuwenhoek working in Delft, The Netherlands, first reported his observations of algae, bacteria and protozoa to the Royal Society of London in 1676. In the last 200 years European scientists, such as Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch, Sergei N. Winogradsky and Martinus W. Beijerinck, have made most of the seminal advances in microbiology and rate as highly as scientists in any other field of discovery. This strong tradition of excellence
