MBB 196 Undergraduate Seminar: Whoâs that protein? The evolution of protein-protein docking computational methods
While working on those gains in the gym and getting your dose of protein from chicken breasts, have you ever wondered what exactly those âmuscle gainingâ molecules actually look like? Well, look no further, because with protein-protein docking, you donât 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 âWhoâs that protein? The evolution of protein-protein docking computational methodsâ to be held at the National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (NIMBB) Room 105 on February 14, 2025, at 1:00 PM.

MBB 196 Undergraduate Seminar: Peeling Back: Exploring SCoT Markers for Agricultural Innovation
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 âPeeling Back: Exploring SCoT Markers for Agricultural Innovation,â 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.


NIMBB Forums: Roles of Microbiome in Weight Gain, Obesity, and Diabetes
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.
