Microbiology Theme
at SILS
Microorganisms shape our health, food and environment. The Microbiology theme at SILS studies how microbes grow, communicate and interact with hosts, and translates this knowledge into applications for health, industry and sustainability.
Microbiology across Amsterdam
The theme is connected to Research Priority Areas on Personal Microbiome Health and Systems Biology, and to the Amsterdam Microbiome Expertise Center (AMEC) and AMSA seminar series.
Personal Microbiome Health
Microbiology groups at SILS contribute to the Research Priority Area on Personal Microbiome Health, connecting fundamental microbiology to human health.
