8th International Conference on Microbiome Engineering
December 1, 2025 to December 3, 2025
Add to Calendar
The theme of the 2025 International Conference on Microbiome Engineering is microbiome engineering across different environments. The conference will cover topics ranging from the human gut, skin, vagina, as well as animal systems, marine ecosystems, and soil. Over three days, we will have six sessions, each focusing on different approaches to microbiome engineering.
Abstract Submission Deadline: September 1, 2025
Transforming microbiome science into practical solutions for pressing issues in nutrition, healthcare, and agriculture benefits from an engineering-driven approach. At ICME, we are cultivating a dynamic community of microbiome engineers committed to translating the latest science into real-world impact.
Reasons to Present
- Share experiences, new tools, and strategies
- Identify trends that might influence your current research
- Benefit from creative input from colleagues working in allied fields
- Gain exposure to an attentive, well-informed audience
- Help promote new ideas and solutions to significant challenges
- Develop your network and make valuable connections
- Share your work and help advance the field
The microbiome field is at a tipping point. After more than 2 decades of foundational work, we are beginning to see signs of a new phase of real-world impact across health, agriculture, and environmental systems. This is why ICME is such an interesting meeting to me. I like this conference because it doesn’t just showcase emerging technologies for a single field, it connects them across disciplines. In my opinion, this is where the next wave of innovation and solutions will be shaped.
Session Topics
Reasons to Attend
- The conference offers a comprehensive approach to the field of microbiome engineering
