EVENTS


MBB 196 Undergraduate Seminar: A Prostrate-ing Problem and Synergistic Solutions
Join us this Friday, April 25, 2025, at 1:00 pm in NIMBB Room 105 for a discussion on novel therapeutic approaches for prostate cancer treatment with a focus on the synergy of endosomal recycling inhibitors (ERI) and enzalutamide. Gain valuable insights on how this combination may be translated into clinical practice.
See you then!


MBB 196 Undergraduate Seminar: Microbial Metalheads: Quorum Sensing and Bioluminescence – mechanism, regulation, variations
Join the MBB 196 Undergraduate Seminar to be held this Friday (March 28, 2025) to learn more about how the QS circuit of V. campbellii BB120 differs from canonical QS systems and why V. campbellii DS40M4âs QS circuit suggests the possibility of new regulators. The seminar will be held from 1 PM to 2 PM in Room 105, NIMBB, UP-Diliman. See you there!


DOST-PCHRD Balik-Scientist Program Exit Report Presentation: Dr. Bernadette Bagon
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,â 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.


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!|


NIMBB Forums: The transcription factor Runx3 links cytotoxic CD8 T cell effector differentiation and long-lived memory
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.


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.
