MBB 196 Undergraduate Seminar: Microbial Metalheads: Endophytes as agents for heavy metal bioremediation

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!|

MBB 196 Undergraduate Seminar: Who’s 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 “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.
