Last week, our PhD fellow Marte Jenssen attended the John Innes / Rudjer Boskovic Summer School in Applied Molecular Microbiology in Dubrovnik. The topic was Microbial Specialised Metabolites: From Genome to Molecule. Several interesting topics were discussed and taught during the week covering antibiotic history and research, the importance of understanding microbiomes, natural product biosynthesis, phylogeny, and isolation of bioactive compounds.
Now she is back in Tromsø with motivation and new ideas for her research!
