18 – 20 February 2026

The inaugural Microbes in Microbiomes conference aims to highlight the progress in microbiome science from structure to function with a focus on the individual microbes responsible for these important traits. Our broad areas of interest include microbiomes related to human, animal, plant, and environmental health. However, they are microbe-centric with the intent to feature important species within microbiomes and how they interact with others in complex communities.

Sessions will be divided based on the host or environment where these microbes reside but are meant to drive synergy between approaches of those studying microbes in microbiomes from diverse systems.  A specific area of interest is experimentation with synthetic microbial communities, which is becoming a more commonly used approach to dissect microbial interactions within complex consortia but brings unique challenges ambiguous to the system of study.

Please join us in Miami this Winter 2026, where we will highlight some super microbes within microbiomes that can promote human and environmental health.
