2023/07/02 - 2023/07/15 | The SymbNET Summer School on Host-Microbe Symbioses is designed for PhD students (2nd year or late) interested in host-microbe
symbioses to acquire an in-depth understanding of the field from diverse perspectives through interaction with experts in
this research area. These include researchers using different model systems and levels of analysis from molecular biology
to ecology and evolution. The Summer School had an emphasis on functionally understanding these symbioses, with approaches
including genomics and metabolomics.
