The new bacteriology: Royal Society Scientific Discussion Meeting

The Royal Society scientific programme connects scientists from around the world in discussions which influence their field and inspire future research opportunities.

The meeting will highlight recent advances in our understanding of bacteria, focussing on issues of societal interest such as infection, antimicrobial therapies, and the importance of bacteria in the environment. The past decade has seen the use of cutting-edge methodologies, such as imaging, high throughput sequencing, and sophisticated chemistries, leading to quantum leaps in our understanding, that we are seeking to capture in this Symposium.

BRI Director Sharon Peacock will be one of the speakers at this event, and there is also a poster competition. 

Deadline for poster submission is Tuesday 1 December 2015.

This meeting is intended for researchers in relevant fields and is free to attend, but registration is essential.
