International School in Marine Biology, 17-27 January 2011

The Daniel Jouvance – UPMC – PUC International School in Marine Biology is a summer school for postgraduate students of Latin America, aiming to summarize the latest advances in Marine Biology research.

This school results from long-term collaboration between France and Chile in Marine Biological Research. A team of French and Chilean lecturers, all consolidated researchers in their respective areas, will cover the different topics using algae as a model organisms.

 

Summary Program

• Regional context: oceanography and biogeography of the S.E. Pacific marine diversity, its management and mariculture
• Macroalgae: Diversity and evolution, Complexity of life cycles
• Genetic diversity: its nature and uses for spatial, demographic and historical inferences
• Basic concepts and approaches in genomics and post-genomics
• Full genomes
• Physiological stresses and stress responses
• Molecular bases of innate immunity in benthic algae
• Compounds of interest: structure, uses, biosynthetic pathways and trends for innovation
• Microalgal biodiversity, what do we learn from genome sequences?
• Microalgae as cell factories, including for the production of biofuels: dream or reality?
