Several years ago, researchers from Aarhus discovered a curious form of electric life on the seafloor. Since then it has become increasingly clear that a significant part of the bacterial world is electrified. Leading researchers from around the world will set this life form in focus at the first-ever electromicrobiology conference, held on March 21 and 22 in Aarhus, Denmark.

Building Water Systems ? The Sustainability & Public Health Nexus. The second annual Legionella Conference, hosted by NSF International and the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA), will bring together thought leaders and experts to explore the complex relationship between water conservation and microbial contamination prevention in building water systems.

Insilico to present at the World AI Show

Young researchers and graduates from any country have until March 24 to apply for the event, which will be held at the University of São Paulo with FAPESP's support.

The Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University will host a week-long gathering of six archaeologists from Mali, Morocco, the UK and the US, working at the cutting-edge of research on medieval Africa.

Twenty years after the first International Congress of Myology in March 2000, the first innovative drugs (gene therapy, ...) are available to patients, the number of clinical trials grows around the world, involving hundreds of patients. Myology, this little-known science dedicated to the study of muscles, is, today, one of the big therapeutic innovation field.

Recent studies suggest that a set of biomarkers, rather than an individual biomarker, constitute the most effective means of assessing the health status. Daniil Polykovskiy will present 'Deep generative approach for transcriptome analysis of human aging' at the 2019 Undoing Aging Conference. He will share the latest development of comprehensive and robust aging biomarkers using deep learning, blood biochemistry, transcriptomics, and even imaging data, which is able to track the effectiveness of the various interventions that Insilico is developing.
