2025 International Conferences

EBC-IX EUROPEAN BIOREMEDIATION CONFERENCE – ALL4BIOREM CLUSTER SESSION

Jose Carlos Castilla Alcantara (University of Burgos) presented the BIOREM project during the dedicated session organised by the ALL4BIOREM Cluster🌍, as part of the 9th European Bioremediation Conference (#EBC_IX). 

The innovative#bioremediation research was highlighted, fostering a dynamic environment rich in expertise and knowledge transfer💡. 

20TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THE BIOLOGY OF ACTINOMYCETES (ISBA2025)

It was a pleasure to be part of the 20th International Symposium on the Biology of Actinomycetes (#ISBA2025), held in Egmond aan Zee, 📍the Netherlands. Sepideh Mofidifar from the University of Surrey presented a poster as part of the BIOREM project and her secondment to Wageningen University & Research.

"Energy Alterations in Streptomyces clavuligerus Due to the Loss of the pSCL4 Megaplasmid: A Genome-Scale Metabolic Modelling Approach". This work contributes to BIOREM’s goals by:

 🔹 Advancing our understanding of microbial metabolism

 🔹 Using systems biology to optimise microbial strains

 🔹 Bridging modelling and experimental microbiology

Great science, great discussions and inspiring connections! 👏 

FEMS 2025 MICRO. MILAN, ITALY.

Dmitrii Deev JSI took part in the FEMS Micro Conference in Milan, an international event that brought together more than 1,000 attendees from across the scientific community. During the conference, he presented the BIOREM project, highlighting its goals and innovative ideas in an accessible way for a broad audience. His contribution focused on explaining how methods from colloid biology can be applied to better understand and improve biological and environmental processes, emphasizing their practical relevance beyond the laboratory. The presentation helped raise awareness of new interdisciplinary approaches that connect microbiology, biology, and applied science.

NBC-25 -CONFERENCE OF THE DUTCH BIOTECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION

Colleagues from Wageningen University & Research (WUR) participated in the NBC-25 Conference of the Dutch Biotechnology Association, September 2025, where they presented two posters highlighting innovative biotechnological approaches. The first poster introduced a whole-genome sequencing workflow that can be routinely applied to identify genomic rearrangements and mutations in genetically engineered strains, with the potential to extend this pipeline to BIOREM data. The second poster focused on engineering coexistence in a lignocellulose bioprocessing synthetic community (SynCom) through spatial organization, an important strategy for improving microbial cooperation. Together, these contributions emphasized how advanced genomic tools and spatial design can support the goals of the BIOREM project.
