In Bucharest, IBBS is preparing a day of lectures at the Platform for Research on Systemic Biology and Ecology. The day will cover four main topics: medical biology, ecology, biotechnology and cultural heritage.  If you wish to attend (with or without contributing with a presentation), please contact Dr. Iasmina Moza (maria.moza@g.unibuc.ro).

Be sure to also check Professor Joanna Verran’s initiative on the Bad Bugs Book Club for a bit of literature in which infectious disease forms some part of the story!
