The Molecular Genetics of Bacteria and Phages Meeting 2026 is a premier international scientific conference bringing together researchers, students, and professionals focused on cutting-edge bacteriology, phage biology, microbial genetics, and allied disciplines. Hosted by Wisconsin Union Conference Services at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, this meeting provides a platform for interdisciplinary exchange of the latest discoveries and methodologies in bacterial genetics, phage research, microbial interactions, and synthetic biology.
About the Conference
The Molecular Genetics of Bacteria and Phages Meeting is one of the longest-standing scientific gatherings in prokaryotic molecular biology, tracing its roots to historic phage meetings of the mid-20th century. It remains a cornerstone for laboratories and researchers across disciplines, spanning basic bacterial genetics to modern phage biology, chromosomal biology, systems and synthetic biology, and microbial community interactions.
The conference provides an inclusive and interactive environment that encourages discussion, collaboration, and mentorship across career stages. This meeting is ideal for-
- Academic and industry researchers in microbiology and virology
- PhD students and postdoctoral fellows
- Scientists working in phage therapy, synthetic biology, and microbial genetics
- Educators and professionals seeking updates on emerging trends in bacterial research
Renowned for its strong scientific legacy, the meeting continues the tradition of the historic phage conferences that shaped modern molecular biology. It remains a key forum for presenting breakthrough discoveries and discussing emerging directions in microbial research.
