🎉 The final day of @BlueBio4Future was a huge success!

Today’s open session featured amazing talks on topics ranging from protein structural prediction to the chemical ecology of ant-fungi symbiosis and genome mining tools!

Huge thanks to all who joined—let’s keep going! 🚀

[BlueBio4Future @BlueBio4Future]

After a morning on phylogenetics & biosynthetic clusters, the afternoon took us into protein & enzymology structure/function prediction. 🧬

👨‍🏫 Lectures from Arménio Barbosa (UNL) & Raquel Castelo Branco (CIIMAR) guided participants before diving into hands-on sessions.

[BlueBio4Future @BlueBio4Future]

Day 2 of the #BlueBio4Future Short Course is underway!

We started with an inspiring session by Hans Singh (Univ. of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa) on phylogenetic approaches for natural product discovery & NaPDo2S. Now, participants are getting hands-on with NaPDo2S & BiG-SCAPE!
