An International conference on Fungal genetics, biology, host pathogen interaction & evolutionary ecology.
It is a great pleasure to invite you to Rome, from 17 to 20 February, for an exciting meeting, with an outstanding scientific program!
The aim of ECFG15 is to showcase recent advances in fungal genetics and molecular biology, including cellular biology, omics technologies, host-pathogen interactions, evolutionary genomics, molecular ecology.
The conference will be held in Rome, Italy in the historic residence of the Sapienza University of Rome.
The Conference includes four keynote lectures, three plenary sessions, thirteen concurrent sessions, and poster sessions for more informal discussions.
3 plenary and 12 concurrent sessions
1. Cell biology & Genetic
1.1. Development and morphogenesis
1.2. Cell regulation and signaling
1.3. Primary and secondary metabolism
1.4. Genome, chromatin and epigenetics
1.5. Omics & bioinformatic
2. Fungal Host Interactions
2.1. Animal – fungi interactions
2.2. Plant – fungi interactions
2.3. Antifungal and fungicides
3. Evolution and molecular ecology
3.1. Evolution
3.2. Molecular taxonomy & phylogenomics
3.3. Applied and environmental microbiology
3.4. Synthetic biology and biotechnology
These sessions will be complemented with satellite workshops held prior to the main conference.
The conference will provide an interdisciplinary forum for scientists to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and issues in the field of fungal genetics, biology and molecular biology.
The organizing committee looks forward to welcoming you in 2020 in Rome for share the advances in fungal genetic!
