DESCRIPTION:Gerbert Rüf Stiftung Representatives\nInfo. Session on "Micro
 bials: Direct Use of Micro-Organisms" Call 2016.in Room BC01 at 4pmProgram
 me of the call: \nThe opportunities for the development of new tools in he
 alth care\, drug discovery\, the environment\, agriculture and food produc
 tion are increasingly limited by the availability of novel chemical compou
 nds. Innovative approaches and solutions are needed.\nWhereas “biologics
 “ describes products extracted from biological sources\, there is a far 
 greater potential in the direct use of micro-organisms – engineered viru
 ses\, bacteria\, populations of microbes that work together in symbiosis 
 – as a means of production\, treatment and research. The use of microbia
 l resources to produce desired effects within living organisms or in natur
 al or man-made ecosystems bears powerful and underexploited tools.\nMany p
 romising approaches that depend on microbial resources exist in industry\,
  yet the advent of rapid genomic sequencing and genome targeting opens up 
 unprecedented opportunities in which microorganisms\, including bacteria\,
  fungi\, algae\, protozoa and viruses\, can be modified and applied.\nFor
