EBG Metagenomics Workshop

EBGs aim to advance the fields of both metagenomics and metaproteomicsÌýby providing training, better tools and new approaches. Since 2018,Ìýour team has staged an international workshop providing hands on training to twenty participants in the wetlab sessions andÌýfifty participants in the bioinformatics sessions from many countries and institutions.

Pioneers of Metagenomics - Environment and HealthÌýminisymposium

Each year, during the workshop, we also hosted the half-day "Pioneers of Metagenomics - Environment and HealthÌýminisymposium" symposium, which is openÌýto both workshop participantsÌýand ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ students and researchers. BesidesÌýthe workshop participants, 74Ìýand 94 students and researchers registered for the event in 2018 and 2019, respectively. The symposium speakers were from theÌý²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ and other institutions.Ìý
