The deep-sea is one of the largest ecological habitats on Earth, yet one of the least explored, and so has great potential as a source of novel antimicrobial metabolites. Thursday 19th October 14:00-14:30 AL G30 - UCC
The next speaker in our School Seminar Series is Shona Uniacke-Lowe who will talk about biomining the deep-sea for new anti-microbials. Really looking forward to this!
