The Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn – national public research institute belonging to the Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca - will be celebrating in 2022 its 150th anniversary of its foundation. The Stazione Zoologica is the oldest marine research institute in the world, as well as the oldest Italian research institute, a unique heritage of knowledge, shining with Italian competence and research in the world.

The Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn was founded in Napoli in 1872 through the vision of the German scientist Anton Dohrn, inspired by Charles Darwin to show scientific evidences of the evolutionary theory. More than 20 Nobel laureates have worked and studied in its halls since the foundation, providing the institute with an international reputation.

Here, Italian and foreign researchers collaborate to develop excellence in research for the present and future of the sea. THe SZN has recently been included among the 10 best institutios in the world in the field of Marine Biology. This is a great acknowledgment for the whole Italian research estabilishment, that has in the marine sector one of its strong points, able to rival with the most prestigious international institutions in the USA, France, Germany, and Australia.

And given the relevance that seas and oceans for the whole humanity, United Nations dedicated the next decade, 2021-2030, to Ocean Research for a susteinable development. Just think about the importance of fishing, or renewable energy sources such as the wind, waves, currents, and offshore solar power, that require researches to make them fully eco-compatible.

Greetings from the International Summer School on “The Evolution of Enzymes and Metabolic Pathways: analysis, understanding and implications for biotechnology”

We would like to introduce the upcoming 2^nd edition of the International Summer School on Protein Evolution (SSPE 2022) to be held at Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn from June 28th to 30th 2022 in the charming city of Naples.

Please take a look at the preliminary program:
https://summerschool2022.wixsite.com/website-1

This course is designed for PhD students and early-career researchers aiming at acquiring an interdisciplinary understanding of concepts and methods for the investigations of enzyme and metabolic pathways evolution, with insights into environmental adaptations and their potential biotechnological applications.

Admission to the course will be evaluated by the scientific committee based on preliminary knowledge of applicants and the number of participants will be limited to 25.

The course program integrates theoretical lectures with hands-on practical tutorials on function and evolution of enzymes and metabolic pathways, including their optimization for biotechnological purposes, providing examples of usage of public databases and software, as well as high-throughput analyses. Participants are particularly encouraged to work on their own laptop.

Attending the SSPE at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn in Naples, you will have the benefit of enjoying an exciting experience in a highly stimulating research environment, of visiting the new Aquarium and the DaDoM museum in one of the most inspiring cities in the world.

Detailed information on the program of our course and online registration form for the SSPE 2022 are available at the following link:
