From Gene to Cure: How Microorganisms Inspire Biotechnological Innovation
How can microorganisms help fight bacterial infections? In this workshop, you’ll discover how biotechnology connects genetics, nature, and technology — laying the groundwork for developing new therapies and innovative biotechnological solutions.
About This Workshop
About the lecturer
The workshop is led by Marija Atanasković, a research associate at the Institute of Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering. Her work focuses on biotechnology and the discovery of new enzymes from natural sources that can be applied in treating bacterial infections. The enzymes she studies break down components of bacterial biofilm matrices or disrupt bacterial communication, contributing to the development of new medical approaches.
What you’ll learn
The workshop combines biology, biotechnology, and entrepreneurship through practical examples from the lecturer’s research. Participants will learn how genes for new enzymes are discovered in nature, tested, and optimized, and how research results can be translated into innovations applicable in medicine or industry. In the interactive part, participants will use online bioinformatics tools to analyze potential new enzymes and discuss ideas for their practical application.
Why join?
This workshop is an opportunity to explore how a multidisciplinary approach bridges science, creativity, and entrepreneurship. Through real-world examples from modern biotechnology, you’ll see how curiosity drives innovation — and how laboratory research can evolve into solutions that change the world.
