Symposium in Engineering and Analytics in Microbiome Research

The Mid-Atlantic Microbiome Meet-up is pleased to announce its annual symposium. This one-day symposium will bring together microbiome scientists from the University of Maryland and neighboring institutions with the goal of sharing information about recent advances in the development of engineering and computational tools and their applications to addressing current challenges in microbiome sciences. The program will feature oral and poster presentations as well as break-out sessions aimed at addressing current challenges in microbiome sciences. Ample time will be provided throughout the day for social interactions, and the event will end with a reception to allow conversations to continue in an informal setting.
