You probably already know that microbes are all around us and can spread easily. Most microbes are harmless, but some can make us sick. In this workshop, you’ll learn how the body’s immune system works around the clock to protect us from infection. You’ll meet researchers from APC Microbiome Ireland and find out what it’s really like to be a scientist. This workshop may take in your school (distance dependent) or online though Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
Where: In person or online
When: Monday 14th November and Tuesday 15th November, 10.00AM

Past Events
The goal of this focus meeting is to bring together researchers with an interest in microbial evolution and to establish a new network of microbial evolution research in Ireland (MENI). We hope that this will be the first of many annual meetings and confirmed speakers include Prof Ken Wolfe (UCD) and Prof Conor O'Bryne (UCG).
We are inviting submissions from PhDs, postdocs and PIs that cover all aspects of fundamental and applied microbial evolution research from environmental to clinical e.g. molecular mechanisms of evolution, experimental evolution, directed laboratory evolution, phylogenetics, pathogen evolution, antimicrobial resistance
Registration is free and we will provide lunch and a wine reception, please see link for further detail and to register
