Join us for the Microbiome Innovation Centre's third annual Microbiome Research Day - a stimulating day of talks, discussion and making connections for microbiome researchers and innovators across Liverpool City Region. For the first time, we are opening the event beyond the University of Liverpool to include researchers from Liverpool John Moores University and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine as well as microbiome innovators interested in connecting with Liverpool's thriving microbiome research community.

All PhD students and postdoctoral researchers attending will be allocated a poster space which can either be used for a traditional research poster or simply as an opportunity to showcase research plans, ideas, skills and interests. If you would like the opportunity to speak at the event, please indicate this upon registration and send a brief abstract [email protected] no later than Friday 29th May. There will be prizes for the best talks and posters!
