  • Viromes and Bacteriophages

Infectious Disease:

  • Viral Replication
  • Antimicrobial Resistance and Novel Antimicrobial Strategies
  • Point of Care Diagnostics – Lessons from COVID-19 Testing
  • Viral Vaccines

Big Data in Infectious Disease and Host Response:

  • Genomic Epidemiology and Pandemic Preparedness
  • Systems Biology
  • Integrative Analysis of Multi-Omics Data

Call for Posters — Virtual poster sessions offer the opportunity to present data to a global audience via a PDF poster and video summary and discuss results with interested colleagues through email. Plan now to have your poster included in the 2023 Microbiology Virtual Week. Submit your abstract here.
