We are excited to invite you to the VAAM Workshop "Biology of Bacteria Producing Natural Products" 2025, which will take place in Berlin from September 24th to 26th.

This annual workshop provides a platform especially for young scientists to present their latest results in the fields of microbial natural product biology & chemistry, biosynthesis and engineering – contributions in the form of posters plus flash talks or short talks are invited. In the last years, the workshop was attended by 150-250 national and international participants from academia and industry. The workshop is organized on behalf of the interest group "Biology of Bacterial Natural Product Producers", which is a section of the German Association for General and Applied Microbiology (VAAM).

Please feel free to forward this information to anyone interested, including PhD students and postdocs.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Berlin!
