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 MiSeq.

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.

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 symbiosis research community.

Thanks to all who helped make this day a great success!
