[institut] Lecture Invitation – Prof. Dr. Dušan Palić

[Darija Obradović]

Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to invite you to a lecture by Prof. Dr. Dušan Palić 
entitled:

Melding Carbon and Silicone-Based Methods: Using High-Accuracy 
Long-Chain Sequencing and Bioinformatics to Support Aquatic Animal 
Health Practice

Tuesday, September 1, 2026
11:00
Dr. Dragan Popović Lecture Hall, Institute of Physics Belgrade


Prof. Dr. Dušan Palić, D.V.M., MVSc, Ph.D., Dipl. ECAAH is Professor and 
Chair of Fish Diseases and Fisheries Biology at the Faculty of 
Veterinary Medicine, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich. His research 
integrates aquatic animal health, molecular biology, immunology, 
advanced sequencing and bioinformatics.

Lecture Abstract

The lecture will present how Oxford Nanopore long-read whole-genome and 
transcriptome sequencing, combined with bioinformatics and big-data 
approaches, can reveal relationships between aquatic animal hosts, their 
microbiomes and pathogens.

Prof. Palić will discuss the translation of these technologies into 
practice, including improved disease diagnostics, biosecurity and 
epidemiological decision-making, modeling of antigenic epitopes for 
tailored vaccine development, and monitoring of antimicrobial resistance 
genes in animals and their environment.

The lecture will highlight how integrating molecular, computational and 
veterinary approaches can provide new insights and support more precise 
strategies for aquatic animal health.

I hope you will be able to join us.

Best regards,
Dr. Darija Obradović
