Quantitative Evolutionary Dynamics (QED)
Microbial Communities: from the lab to natural environments
17th-19th April, 2013
Shaldon, Devon, by the sea near Dartmoor/Exeter University, UK: this is
the village website http://www.shaldon-devon.co.uk/
Aimed specifically at younger scientists, this conference is a forum for research
into evolving microbial systems bridging the gap between mathematical models,
laboratory models and natural ecosystems. Speakers will talk about plant and
human pathogens, natural fungal ecosystems, consortia of symbionts, their responses
to antibiotics and viruses and single-cell observations of bacteria in microfluidic devices.
This is a MMEMS meeting http://www.mmems.org/ funded by an EPSRC Creativity@Home Award.
