To discuss the latest research and developments in the field of microbiology VIB is organizing the first edition of ‘Emerging applications of microbes’ on June 3 - 4 2019 in beautiful Leuven Belgium.
The new breakthroughs and technologies in microbiology do not only allow a better basic understanding of microbes and life in general, they also open new routes in applied and industrial microbiology.
Scientific program almost complete
The program will be divided in four sessions covering metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, industrial biotechnology, microbial communities. With the program almost complete, the first presentation titles of the speakers were announced.
