NOVA PhD Course 2013

NOVA PhD Course “Molecular typing and next generation sequencing of food- and waterborne pathogens” is being held from March 4th to March 8th 2013 in Helsinki. The course is organized by the Department of Food Hygiene and Environmental Health, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Helsinki.

The course target group is PhD students registered at any of the NOVA or BOVA member institutions or for other Nordic PhD students. During the course the students get familiar with microbiological typing methods used for analysis of food- and waterborne pathogens and spoilage organisms. Also the potential of next generation sequencing (NGS) as a typing tool will be discussed.

This is the second NOVA PhD course organized by the Department of Food Hygiene and Environmental Heath. The first course, concerning quantitative PCR, took place in March 2012 and was in popular demand and highly valued among the students.

NOVA University Network – The Nordic Forestry, Veterinary and Agricultural University Network – is a platform for efficient and innovative Nordic cooperation.
