Join us for the FEMS Microbiology Reviews Webinar on “Exploring the Molecular Aspects of Microbial Biology”, where together we will explore the genomic and molecular foundations driving microbial diversity, adaptation, and pathogenesis. This session showcases leading authors whose reviews span Pseudomonas taxonomy and evolution, fungal phenotypic heterogeneity, and the molecular epidemiology and evolution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

From novel computational pipelines to the role of genetic variation in disease resistance, this webinar offers microbiologists, students, and enthusiasts a front-row seat to emerging tools, insights, and breakthroughs shaping our understanding of microbial life at the molecular level. Don’t miss this deep dive into the molecular microbial world!

This event is part of a series of webinars by FEMS with OUP funded by the FEMS Journals. The FEMS journals are run by microbiologists, and for microbiologists. Every article published by us has been rigorously reviewed for soundness of science by our community of academic peer reviewers – and the not-for-profit journals support the microbiology community.
