PRIMER invites you to our annual symposium at UAGM-Gurabo

PRIMER invites you to our annual symposium at UAGM-Gurabo


Welcome

We have been hit hard by nature. We must embrace strategies to improve life for all and find a collaborative way to do everything better.

Nowadays, disciplines seek to combine innovative solutions to face environmental challenges to life on Earth. Every day, profound scientific initiatives disclose microbial properties that are valuable to understand and to deal with environmental constraints that mankind experience. Therefore, we are convening international and local researchers, within an interdisciplinary scenario, to discuss microbial influences with
interconnections shaping life. We take this opportunity to examine scientific advances towards environmental balances, sustainable development, and societal progress with lessons for innovation. New discoveries are achieved by searching for frontiers in environmental microbiology. We, at Universidad Ana G. Méndez, Recinto del Gurabo (formerly Universidad del Turabo) and the Puerto Rico Institute for Microbial Ecology Research (PRIMER), recognize our responsibility to search for and carry out research that will provide solutions to environmental constraints and descriptions of novel and intriguing biological phenomena. This is a task for multiple disciplines and a commitment for the global scientific community to achieve transformations.

PRIMER pursues a better understanding of microbial roles within the Neotropical environment with global impact. We invite you to be part of this journey:
