On September 12th and 13th, 2024, the Department of Plant Biology at the Institute of Biological and Ecological Sciences, Faculty of Science, UPJŠ, will host the CyanoMeta workshop: “Basic Principles and Techniques of Extraction and Identification of Metabolites in Cyanobacteria Research” in Košice. This workshop is part of an international collaboration involving several universities on the CyanoMeta project – “Research network on the metabolome of cyanobacteria”
– and Slovakia is the last country within this collaboration to organize an event with international participation. The workshop will feature domestic experts in the field. Attendance at the lectures is open to the public.
