Breakfast Club 26: Thursday, 23rd January

Dr. Hugh Evans - Research Fellow at Forest Research, UK

Title: Range Expansion of Bark Beetles in the Genus Ips

Dr. Perrine Portier - Research Engineer at INRAE, France (Director of CIRM-CFBP, the French Collection for Plant-Associated Bacteria)

Title: Building a Reference Database for Plant-Pathogenic Bacteria Identification by Maldi-TOF and Evaluation of the Method

 Join us for two insightful talks exploring critical advancements in agriculture and forestry. First, discover key findings from the Euphresco ECLIPSE project, which investigates the range expansion of the bark beetle genus Ips and its implications for ecosystem health. Next, learn about the development of a comprehensive reference database for identifying plant-pathogenic bacteria using MALDI-TOF technology, along with a thorough evaluation of this innovative method. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your understanding of pest management and pathogen detection!
