I know I'm old, and out of touch, but there has been biblical rain here for the last 26 hours and it's continuing, yet university students are walking and cycling to campus in GAA shorts!! Can anyone explain????

MICROBIOLOGY SEMINAR SERIES
Ph.D. SPEAKER EVENT

Shona Uniacke-Lowe
University College Cork, Cork, Ireland
Supervisor: Paul Ross

Title: The antimicrobial potential of the deep-sea fish microbiome

Shona will present her work on the screening of bacterial isolates from the microbiomes of deep-sea fish for antimicrobials, with a particular focus on finding novel bacteriocins. 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
