Exciting opportunities offered through the MCB Professional Science Master’s (PSM) program this May term and Summer Session. Hands on training on state-of-the-art instruments through short, intense modular training courses. This summer we will be offering nine modules. In the intermediate and advanced modules, students will be trained on a next generation sequencing instrument, the Illumina […]
Congratulations to Kunal Dolas, from Dr. Papke’s lab, who was selected to receive funding to attend the 2015 NEMPET Meeting.
Kunal will present a poster titled “Role of HVO_1477 (Archaeal Lipoprotein Nuclease) in eDNA metabolism and Natural Transformation of Haloferax volcanii” on June 26, 2015.
On May 12, 2015 UConn MCB hosted the 4th Annual CT Symbiosis Symposium
We had 78 registrants from 8 different institutions. There were 7 talks throughout the day, including systems as diverse as insect-microbe interactions, the human microbiome, and the sociobiology of the genome and topics ranging from genomics to physiology to chemistry. The day ended with a well-attended poster session including 25 presenters from throughout the Connecticut […]
Congratulations to Dr. Papke who recently received a 3 year, $699,718 grant award from NASA!
