Info. Session on "Microbials: Direct Use of Micro-Organisms" Call 2016.
in Room BC01 at 4pm
Programme of the call:
The opportunities for the development of new tools in health care, drug discovery, the environment, agriculture and food production are increasingly limited by the availability of novel chemical compounds. Innovative approaches and solutions are needed.
Whereas “biologics“ describes products extracted from biological sources, there is a far greater potential in the direct use of micro-organisms – engineered viruses, bacteria, populations of microbes that work together in symbiosis – as a means of production, treatment and research. The use of microbial resources to produce desired effects within living organisms or in natural or man-made ecosystems bears powerful and underexploited tools.
Many promising 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.
