ABOUT THE EVENT

We invite the microbiology community to attend the 2nd Workshop in Microbial Molecular Biology, which will be held on 5-7 December, 2022 at the UNICAMP Convention Center (UNICAMP/SP-Brazil). The Conference will cover most aspects of Molecular Microbiology, featuring international speakers and researchers from the many institutions of São Paulo State. Topics will include: mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, host-pathogen interactions, protein secretion and physiology of microorganisms. Posters session will further extend discussions and exchange of ideas between researchers, undergraduate and graduate students. We will select five abstracts from the original poster submission for oral presentations. Registration is free of charge.

Please note that places are limited and we will prioritize registrations that include submission for posters/oral presentations.

Five abstract submissions will be selected for a 15 min oral presentation (in english) and receive a certificate. Prizes for best oral and posters presentations will be awarded by the Molecular Microbiology Journal

MOLECULAR MICROBIOLOGY: A new vision and expanded scope Molecular Microbiology encompasses all areas of microbiology from basic to translational research. The journal aims at attracting research content of the highest quality and novelty. It will publish studies of all microbes that provide significant new biological insights and contribute to a deeper understanding of the molecular principles underlying basic physiological processes or interactions between microbes their hosts or the environment. We encourage cross-disciplinary approaches. The journal will thereby strengthen its service to the broader microbiology research community
