The IUMS Biennial Congress will gather medical and non-medical microbiologists from various disciplines to explore advancements, technologies, and innovations across the three main divisions of microbiology in one place.
Key topics at IUMS 2026 will include microbial genetics, molecular and synthetic biology, gene regulation, proteomics, and applied microbiology in fields such as biotechnology, clinical and medical sciences, industrial applications, and environmental sustainability—with a strong emphasis on the preservation of ecosystems and oceans. Special attention will be paid to how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can affect any aspect of microbiology.
Beyond scientific advancements, this meeting aims to highlight the crucial role of microbes in sustaining life on Earth. Microorganisms are fundamental to global health, food security, energy production, industry, carbon sequestration, agriculture, ecosystem restoration, and scientific progress.
