Event

We are pleased to invite you to the Balik Scientist Program (BSP) Exit Report Presentation of Dr. Bernadette B. Bagon, where she will share with us her presentation on “Bioinformatics Analysis of Bacteriophages: Alternative Biocontrol Agents Against AMR Pathogens,” with UP Diliman-NIMBB as her Host Institution. This event is scheduled to take place on March 26, 2025 (10:30 AM) at NIMBB Room 112.

Heavy metal pollutants from industrial activities impair soil and water quality, threatening ecosystems and human livelihoods; metal contamination in agricultural lands, for example, may disrupt crop growth. Perhaps a solution lies within plants themselves, and how we can harness their potential for sustainable remediation approaches.
Join us this Friday, February 28, 2025 at 1:00PM in Room 105 of the National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, to learn more about plant-associated microorganisms and how they can be applied as biofertilizer, biocontrol, and bioremediation agents, through an MBB 196 Undergraduate Seminar entitled “Microbial Metalheads: Endophytes as agents for heavy metal bioremediation”. See you then!|

Dominic Albao, an NIMBB alumnus and a PhD Candidate at the Scripps Research Institute, will be giving a research seminar on February 27, 2025 (Thurs), 12- 1 PM in NIMBB Rm 107.

While working on those gains in the gym and getting your dose of protein from chicken breasts, have you ever wondered what exactly those “muscle gaining” molecules actually look like? Well, look no further, because with protein-protein docking, you don’t need to keep wondering.

Be our valentines this February 14 and explore the evolution of protein-protein docking computational methods in an MBB 196 Undergraduate Seminar entitled “Who’s that protein? The evolution of protein-protein docking computational methods” to be held at the National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (NIMBB) Room 105 on February 14, 2025, at 1:00 PM.

From the farm to the table, innovations in the agricultural sector are rooted in molecular research. As such, molecular markers are crucial in establishing the genetic variety of everyday food like bananas!

Learn more about genetic markers and their applications in an MBB 196 Undergraduate Seminar entitled “Peeling Back: Exploring SCoT Markers for Agricultural Innovation,” to be held at the National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (NIMBB) Room 105 this coming Friday, February 07, 2025, at 1:00 PM.

What do the members of our gut microbiome do while in our gastrointestinal tract and how do they represent our health status? Join Dr. Bernadette Bagon as she concludes her Balik Scientist Seminar Series with this seminar on gut microbiome and its roles on metabolic health, specifically obesity and diabetes.

Register through the provided link or QR code for this hybrid seminar, to be held on February 17, 2025 (10 AM), onsite at NIMBB Rm. 107 and online via Zoom.

DOST-Balik Scientist Dr. Bernadette B. Bagon will hold a hybrid research seminar entitled, “Synbiotics for Gut and Over-all Health Improvement: An Introduction,” on January 27, 2025 at 10 AM in NIMBB Room 107.
