Workshop
Our center holds an annual workshop: The Essentials of Staphylococcal Genetics and Metabolism.
The workshop, supported with funds from the UNMC Department of Pathology, Microbiology, and Immunology, presents participants with an advanced understanding of the genetic and metabolic techniques commonly used by the staphylococcal research community. These techniques include bacterial cell culture and interpretation of metabolite analysis, transduction, allelic replacement methodologies and use of the Nebraska Transposon Mutant Library.The 2025 workshop was held July 13-18.
Participants
The workshop is for pre-doctoral and postdoctoral trainees, new investigators, and other lab staff interested in enhancing their knowledge base and technical skills in staphylococcal genetics and metabolism.
Instructors
Instructors for the 2025 ESGM Workshop are from the faculty and staff of the Department of Pathology, Microbiology, and Immunology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.
