Power of Viruses

Date: May 16-18, 2018

Venue: Poreč, Croatia

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to attend the conference Power of Viruses in Valamar Diamant Hotel, Poreč, Croatia, during May 16-18, 2018.

The symposium is a result of our continuous efforts in promoting virology through a series of events:

Adenoviruses – Basic Biology to Gene Therapy, 2008
Power of Viral Vectors in Gene Therapy and Basic Science, 2014, and
Croatian Virology Workshop (CroViWo), 2014.

Encouraged with their success, we are organizing the international conference Power of Viruses for the first time with the aim of stimulating further development of virology in Europe, especially in the south-eastern Europe, and to facilitate international networking of virologists from medical, plant, veterinary and other sub-fields.

The chosen venue in Poreč at the Adriatic coast with its rich history, scenic beauty and accessibility provides a perfect setting for scientific discussions and informal networking.

The conference is co-organized by the Slovenian Microbiological Society and Czechoslovakian Microbiological Society.

Scientific programme will be prepared by international scientific committee of virologists from various fields.

The meeting is linked with the working groups meetings of the COST Action FA1407 dealing with deep investigation of virus associated sequences (Cost DIVAS). However, the participation in COST DIVAS is not required for the participation in the conference.

Wishing to attract as many young researchers as possible, the Organising Committee has provided lower registration fees for students and special accommodation rates for participants of the meeting. FEMS grants for the participation to the meeting are available for young researchers, and we are actively seeking more opportunities from other international organizations (ICGEB Grant).

All the necessary details can be found at different sections of this web-site and it will be regularly updated with news.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Poreč!

For The First Time, Scientists Have Caught Bacteria “Fishing” For DNA From Their Dead Friends

Bacteria are slippery little suckers. They evolve rapidly, developing resistance to antibiotics and therefore becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. Now, for the first time, researchers have caught on film one of the mechanisms the microbes use for this speedy evolution.

Moćni mikrobi – prikaz knjige Mighty Microbes – The Amazing World of Microorganisms

Skupina znanstvenika i popularizatora znanosti iz Nizozemske se s ovom idejom pozabavila kroz fundaciju Microcanoni, nizozemsku inačicu projekta naziva „Što doista trebate znati o mikrobiologiji“ još 2011. Ta verzija prezentirana je i u amsterdamskom muzeju Artis Micropia, a djelo na engleskome čiji vam prikaz donosim je korak dalje koji je ova skupina ljudi poduzela u ulozi urednika knjige s naslovom Mighty Microbes i podnsalovom The Amazing World of Microorganisms. Osmislili su građu podijeljenu u devet tematskih cjelina, a unutar svake je pet do deset poglavlja (tema) za koje su kao autore ili suautore odabrali znanstvenike koji su sudjelovali u ključnim otkrićima ili su istaknuti stručnjaci u tom području.
