Microbe2026 – Est. 1986. Celebrating 40 Years of Quality Conferencing.
Since the first Sheffield Microbe in 1986, Sheffield Microbe has provided high quality, value for money, symposia for local and national Biomedical Scientists. In recent years, Microbe has attracted delegates from around the world and is regularly attended by delegates across Europe. There are currently twelve committee members who organise forthcoming Microbe events. Microbe symposia are held every 2 years.
Microbe events follow a well proven routine, involving a mixture of current topics and lectures for Biomedical Scientists in Microbiology and related disciplines.
