2025 Quantitative Microbiology Symposium
2025 Quantitative Microbiology Symposium
Embedded Files
From gene expression to evolutionary dynamics, microbes have been a testing ground for fundamental ideas in biology. Against the backdrop of technological breakthroughs in measurement and computational methods, modern microbial studies have revealed remarkably complex phenomena across scales, calling for increasingly close collaboration between experimental and theoretical approaches.
The annual Quantitative Microbiology Symposium aims to facilitate the exchange of ideas by bringing together leading researchers in the field. Emphasis will be placed on microbial dynamics from the molecular to community level, as well as on quantitative approaches to studying them, including, but not limited to, live-cell imaging, microfluidics, statistical inference, and physical modeling.
