Supported by ASSEMBLE Plus, the 2nd edition of the International Summer School on Enzyme Evolution (SSPE 2020) will held at Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn from 14th to 16th July 2020 in the charming city of Naples.

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 and in one of the most inspiring city in the world.
