John Innes – Ruđer Bošković Summer Schools on Applied Molecular Microbiology “Microbial Diversity and Specialised Metabolites”

Date: September 10th - 18th, 2016

Venue: Dubrovnik, Croatia

Under the auspices of the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) and Croatian Microbiological Society (CMS), sixth in the series of Summer Schools on Applied Molecular Microbiology will be held in Dubrovnik, Croatia, September 10-18, 2016 under the title “Microbial Diversity and Specialised Metabolites”. The summer school is organized by John Innes Center (UK) and Ruđer Bošković Institute (Croatia). The co-directors of the course are David Hopwood and Mervyn Bibb (John Innes Centre), Julian Davies (University of British Columbia) 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 30 April 2016.
