Host-Microbe Biology

The Host Microbe Biology (HMB) track explores pathogenic and symbiotic relationships between microbes and their hosts, as well as the microbiome, and is the place for scientists studying genetics, physiology and virulence of microbes at the basic science level to get the latest insights on mechanisms that shape host-microbe relationships.

ASM Microbe offers a unique opportunity to showcase your research to a community of microbial science professionals. It is a platform to engage with industry leaders, peers and potential collaborators while contributing to the growing body of knowledge in microbial sciences. Whether you are presenting a poster or delivering an oral presentation, selecting the right track or session is crucial for the visibility and impact of your research.
