John Innes – Ruđer Bošković Summer Schools on Applied Molecular Microbiology – “Microbial Specialised Metabolites: From Genome to Molecule”
Date: September 8th-16th, 2018
Venue: Dubrovnik, Croatia
Under the auspices of the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) and Croatian Microbiological Society (CMS), seventh in this series of summer schools will be at the Inter-University Centre (IUC) in Dubrovnik, 8 – 16 September 2018, with the title “Microbial Specialised Metabolites: From Genome to Molecule”. The summer school is organized by John Innes Center (UK) and Ruđer Bošković Institute (Croatia). The co-directors of the course are Barrie Wilkinson and Mervyn Bibb (John Innes Centre), Greg Challis (University of Warwick) and Duška Vujaklija (Ruđer Bošković Institute, the president of the Section for Bacteriology and an active CMS member).
The summer school reflects the recent development of interest in microbial metabolites that has resulted from the sequencing of small molecule-producing microorganisms, coupled with the current explosive development of sequencing technology, bioinformatics and chemical analysis. Ecological studies highlighting the wide range of roles for small molecules in microbial communities provide another major driving force.
These summer schools have established a reputation for the quality of the faculty and participants (about 40) and the high degree of productive interaction during the week-long courses. A special feature of the summer school will be hands-on computer workshops to annotate genomes and analyse natural product gene clusters.
We warmly invite CMS members to apply for the summer school.
The deadline for applications is 31st May 2018.

Naše članice pridonjele otkriću bakterija koje žive u ekstremnim uvjetima!
Multidisciplinarni tim znanstvenika, među kojima su i naše članice s Instituta Ruđer Bošković (Tina Paradžik i Dušica Vujaklija) i sa Prirodoslovno-matematičkog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu (Jasna Hrenović), otkrio bakterije koje žive u ekstremnim uvjetima u rudniku Crven Dol u Sjevernoj Makedoniji.
Remdesivir and chloroquine effectively inhibit the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in vitro
Our findings reveal that remdesivir and chloroquine are highly effective in the control of 2019-nCoV infection in vitro. Since these compounds have been used in human patients with a safety track record and shown to be effective against various ailments, we suggest that they should be assessed in human patients suffering from the novel coronavirus disease.Postani član HMD-a

Izdavaštvo
Priručnik za vježbe iz opće mikrobiologije
Ovaj sveučilišni priručnik napisalo je petnaestak autora iz desetak visokoškolskih ustanova iz Zagreba i Rijeke, a sadržaj je podijeljen u petnaest, slikama bogato ilustriranih poglavlja u kojima su opisane i obrađene različite bakteriološke, virološke, mikološke, imunološke i molekularno-biološke metode koje se upotrebljavaju u općoj mikrobiologiji koja se studira na nizu različitih fakulteta i visokih škola.
Veterinarska imunologija
Radi se o vrhunskoj literaturi za potrebe visokoškolske nastave iz veterinarske imunologije. Knjiga je svojim sadržajem namijenjena prvenstveno studentima, ali i veterinarima u praksi i nastavnicima.

Veterinarska klinička imunologija
Iako je riječ o sveučilišnom udžbeniku, knjiga je po svom sadržaju i opsegu namijenjena i kolegama veterinarima koji rade u praksi, ponajprije onima koji se u svagdašnjem radu bave tzv. malom praksom.
