International Microbial Biotechnology Conference in Jakarta
August 8, 2008| |
The Atma Jaya Indonesia Catholic University in collaboration with the American Society for Microbiology will hold an “International Microbial Biotechnology Conference and Workshop on Metagenome” on 11-13 November 2008 in Jakarta. The conference topics will cover microbial diversity for energy and biomass production; opportunity and challenges in Microbe-Macrobe (Mic-Mac) interactions; novel approaches employing microbes to mitigate global climate changes, enzymes derived from microbes for biomedical and agro-biotechnology; and trends in biotechnology to control and prevent microbial pathogens. The workshop aims to introduce advances in molecular biology techniques to assess microbial biodiversity, such as DGGE, SSCP, T-RFLP, ARDRA, RNA-based microbial community analysis, FISH, and DNA Microarrays. Participants will include university students and lecturers, professionals from government research institutions, private sectors and non-government organizations.
The participants are invited to submit a short paper for poster presentation by email to imbc_2008@yahoo.com before 20 September 2008. The author of the accepted paper will be notified by 30 September 2008.
