Combating Antimicrobial Resistance through One Health Approaches \u2013 advancing AMR surveillance, antimicrobial stewardship, novel diagnostics and cross-sectoral strategies to contain drug-resistant infections.\n<\/p>\n
Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases: Preparedness, Surveillance and Response \u2013 strengthening outbreak preparedness, zoonotic disease surveillance, genomic epidemiology, laboratory capacity and wastewater-based disease monitoring.<\/p>\n
From Lab to Landscape: Translating Microbial Science into Resilient One Health Systems and Governance \u2013 connecting scientific discoveries with public policy, environmental protection, evidence-based governance and sustainable health systems.\n<\/p>\n
Innovation, Biotechnology and Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Microbiology \u2013 exploring the role of AI, biotechnology, synthetic biology, genomics and digital innovation in transforming microbial research and its applications.\n<\/p>\n
Building the Next Generation of Microbial Scientists through Mentorship, Research and Scientific Leadership for One Health Sustainability \u2013 strengthening scientific capacity through mentorship, research excellence, scientific writing, career development and industry\u2013academia collaboration.
The programme will feature keynote and plenary presentations, scientific research sessions, oral and poster presentations, practical hands-on workshops, innovation showcases, mentorship, networking and policy dialogue. A special focus will be placed on nurturing young scientists, strengthening research capacity and building meaningful collaborations across disciplines and sectors.\n<\/p>\n
Recognising scientific excellence and service to society will also be a major highlight of the conference. Awards and special recognitions will be presented to deserving and distinguished awardees whose contributions to microbiology, public health, disgnostics, scientific research, innovation, mentorship, leadership and the advancement of One Health have made significant impact. The awards will celebrate excellence, inspire emerging scientists and acknowledge individuals whose work continues to advance the scientific community.\n<\/p>\n
Beyond scientific presentations, the conference is expected to stimulate new research partnerships, strengthen institutional and international collaboration, encourage evidence-informed policy discussions and create opportunities for the next generation of African scientists.<\/p>\n
The maiden conference reflects ASM\u2019s commitment to advancing microbiology, strengthening scientific capacity and connecting Nigerian researchers to the wider international scientific community. It also provides a timely platform to reinforce the role of microbiology in national development, public health protection and global health security.\n<\/p>\n
As Nigeria and the world confront increasingly complex health threats, the conference offers an important opportunity to move beyond isolated disciplinary responses towards integrated, science-driven solutions.
The message is clear: microbial science is central to health security, sustainable development and the future of our planet.\n<\/p>\n
Scientists, researchers, students, policymakers, industry stakeholders and interested members of the public are invited to participate physically in Abuja or virtually from anywhere in the world.\n<\/p>\n
Abstract submission will end by 9th November, 2026. Registration is ongoing.\n<\/p>\n
