Applied Micobiology Symposium

Tuesday 22.09.2015, 13:30 - 19:00

Venue:

WZW Freising - Forstwissenschaften - Gebäude 4277 - HS24

We would like to invite you to join us for the Symposium on "Applied Microbiology" in honor of Prof. N. Louise Glass (UC Berkeley), who will be visiting the HFM@TUM in September as August-Wilhelm Scheer Guestprofessor. Prof. Glass is a renowned researcher in the field of molecular signaling and gene regulation involved in development and metabolism of filamentous fungi. In recent years, she spearheaded the development of Neurospora crassa as a model system for fungal plant biomass degradation in biotechnological contexts. The symposium will feature Prof. Glass as keynote speaker, but includes a number of additional talks by TUM faculty and senior researchers which are supposed to highlight applied microbiological research from all over the TUM Campus (Weihenstephan, Straubing, and Garching).
