PROGRAMME AND ABSTRACTS Welcome The biannual Molecular Microbiology Mee�ng seeks to unite scien�sts who study the molecular biology of microbes with a focus on prokaryotes and fungi. The Molecular Microbiology Mee�ng has previously been held five �mes at various loca�ons around Europe. In 2019 the mee�ng will be hosted by the Centre for Bacterial Cell Biology at Newcastle University, UK. The mee�ng will span two days and will be composed of both lectures and a poster session, allowing for PhD students, Postdoctoral Research Associates and Principal Inves�gators to present their work. Short talks will be selected from submited abstracts. Early career scien�sts are encouraged to apply. Please use the Hashtag #micronewcastle for posts and updates on Social Media.
