We are pleased to announce that from 04.03.23 until 18.03.23 we hosted in our laboratory Dr. George DiCenzo from Queen’s University in Canada. Dr DiCenzo is a specialist in molecular biology, systems biology and bioinformatics. Funding for his visit was granted in 3rd Visiting Professor Competition at Univeristy of Gdańsk. We collaborate in terms of realisation of OPUS 17 project and RNA-seq-based transcriptomic analyses on D. solani strains differing in the level of virulence. Dr. DiCenzo also prepared a course on bioinformatics and comparative genomics for PhD students of IFB UG & MUG.
