NRCPRSIZE50[UPDATE, 30 November 2020]

 Faculty members Cyrose Millado (Dept. of Bio. Sci. and Environ. Studies) and Kriza Calumba (Dept. of Food Sci. and Chem.) are inducted as members of the National Research Council of the Philippines in the Biological Sciences Division virtual meeting on 30 November 2020. 

In the Scientific Webinar, Assoc. Prof. Lyre Anni Murao gave a talk, "Covert Battles: Are Wildlife Viruses Really Wild?" She said that about sixty percent of the emerging infectious diseases that are known so far are zoonotic in nature and that majority of these originated from wildlife. "The transmission of pathogens from animals to humans occurs in a multi-stage process. Nevertheless, less than .1% of the known animal pathogens can cross the species barrier and infect humans. There is a covert battle going on between the pathogen and the host and the outcome is determined by the barriers versus the driving forces that may favor transmission," she said.

The National Research Council of the Philippines Biological Sciences Division (Division V) will be having its first virtual meeting of the year on 30 November 2020, from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon. 

Part 1, the Scientific Webinar will feature talks by experts. Associate Professor Lyre Anni Murao of UP Mindanao, also the program director of Philippine Genome Center Mindanao, will deliver a  talk on, "COVert BATtles: Are Wildlife Viruses Really Wild?"  Associate Professor Rina Opulencia of the UP Los Baños Institute of Biological Sciences will speak on "Microbial Flora of the Philippine Native Swine in Quezon Province." Finally, Dr. Marian De Leon, UP Los Baños University Researcher and Curator of the Museum of Natural History will talk on "Microbes in Philippine Caves: A Continuous Research Investigation and Assessment."

Part 2 will be the Oath Taking of New Associate Members, and Part 3 will be the Business Meeting.

Coursepacks for delivery 

Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs Nilo Oponda with assistant professors Vladimer Shuck and Ryan Songcayauon went to Davao de Oro Province on 29 September 2020 to personally deliver course packs in printed copies and in USB thumb drives to UP Mindanao students in the province in coordination with the LGUs as distribution hubs. VC Oponda also met with the provincial government and Tagum City officials and local alumni to strengthen linkage and allow the use of their internet facilities for UP Mindanao students. In addition, VC Oponda established liaison arrangements for upcoming consultation forums with the provincial, municipal, and barangay health workers on the proposed UP Mindanao College of Medicine.  

The School of Management transmitted 14 coursepacks to BS Agribusiness Economics students on 29 September 2020. There were seven (7) course packs delivered to areas within Davao Region, particularly, Davao City, Panabo City, and New Corella. Another seven (7) coursepacks were sent via courier to areas outside the region specifically: Misamis Occidental, Misamis Oriental, Agusan del Norte, North Cotabato, Bulacan, Bohol, and Quezon City. 

The CHSS prepared course packs in USB for 39 students and in hard copy for 27 students.
