Biofilms 11: Interdisciplinary Momentum: Accelerating Biofilm Research and Innovation Across Boundaries
Biofilms 11 is the latest conference in the internationally renowned Biofilms series showcasing the broad scientific and societal opportunities and challenges of microbial biofilms. A key objective is to capitalise on the interdisciplinary nature of this exciting research topic by fostering discussion and catalysing the exchange of ideas across boundaries.
Hosted by the National Biofilms Innovation Centre and the Microbiology Society, Biofilms 11 continues its tradition of focusing on the fundamental understanding of biofilms and their role in driving the dynamics, activity, structure and function of microbial communities. This includes their interactions across microbiomes and viromes, and within environmental, industrial, and health settings. It will also address cutting-edge technology developments, such as imaging, data-driven, and modelling approaches, integrating advances from both life and physical sciences for research and innovation applications.
The conference will spotlight speakers from diverse career pathways and backgrounds within the biofilm community to offer inspiration and guidance to attendees at all career stages.
Cardiff is surrounded by the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park, the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, and historic castles like Cardiff Castle and Castell Coch. It has excellent travel links and connections from London and Bristol.
