VIRUSES OF MICROBES - 2023, JULY 3-7, 2023, TBILISI, GEORGIA

The number of conference participants is limited to 500.

The series of biannual conferences on Viruses of Microbes, which was launched in Paris in 2010 and since then travelled all around Europe, will reach Tbilisi in 2023. The organizers are delighted to announce this conference, which will be held in Tbilisi, Georgia, on 3-7, 2023. The conference marks a new era in viral research which has begun with the recognition of viruses of microorganisms – viruses of bacteria, archaea, and microbial eukaryotes as predominant component of the biosphere and led to the identification of these viruses as major players in the global ecology, public health, microbial physiology, and evolution.
The conference will serve as a platform for discussions on all aspects of studies on viruses of bacteria, archaea and unicellular eukaryotes, including new views on virus taxonomy, and ranging from the role and diversity of viruses in different ecosystems to development of virus-inspired new technologies.

Considering that the meeting will mark the centenary of the Eliava Institute of Bacteriophages, a special focus will be on recent advances in the fields of bacteriophage research traditional for the institute, e.g. various applications of bacterial viruses, such as diagnostic, prophylaxis, and therapy of human, animal and plant diseases. A special emphasis will be made on bacteriophages targeting multiple drug resistant infections, including nosocomial, community acquired, zoonotic, food-borne and others.
Between the sessions coffee breaks and lunches will be provided.
Poster sessions will be held after the lunch time with a defined time-table indicated in the program to allow poster presenters to be at their posters during their respective session.
Besides the exciting scientific program, several social events will be organized, including trip to the beautiful city of Mtskheta - Old Capital of Georgia.
