Seminar on Microbial Genomics and Circular Bioeconomy

From Diverse Ecosystems through Microbial Genomics and Biotechnology to Circular Bioeconomy
 

This seminar organised by LIST in collaboration with Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria, explores how microbial genomics enhances biotechnological applications

About the Seminar

Circular bioeconomy focuses on the sustainable use of biological resources to generate services and products while reducing environmental impact. This seminar explores biodiversity from extreme ecosystems, including Central Chile, the Andes Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, Patagonia, and the Altiplano, and highlights how microbial genomics supports key biotechnological applications. Topics include bioremediation, agricultural bioproducts, bioplastics, and natural bioproducts. Genome-guided approaches enable the identification of biological networks and metabolic pathways for diverse applications.

Prof. Michael Seeger, from the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa Maria (Chile), is a globally recognized expert in microbiology and biotechnology.
