Viruses of Microbes 2024 - Cairns, Australia!

Hi Everyone, We are excited to announce that the Viruses of Microbes 2024 meeting will be held in Cairns, Australia! Being situated on the shores of the Great Barrier Reef and surrounded by the oldest rainforest on Earth, Cairns will host a truly unique VoM experience. This also marks the first time that the VoM conference series will take place outside of Europe and will be an excellent opportunity to promote Australian phage research. The theme for VoM 2024 will be 'Expanding our viral frontiers', which references both the expansion of the VoM conference series to Australia and a focus on the next frontiers for viruses of microbes research. Our organising committee so far is led by Dr. Jeremy J. Barr as conference convenor (Monash University), along with A/Prof. Ruby CY Lin (Westmead Institute), Dr. Lucy Furfaro (University of Western Australia), Dr. Karen Weynberg (The University of Queensland), Dr. Paul Jaschke (Macquire University) and Prof. Jon Iredell (Westmead Institu

New home for Bacteriophage SIG

Hi everyone, I just wanted to make a quick post to update you all on a few new SIG goals and directions for '21 and '22. We will be transitioning away from our SIG blog site ( Bacteriophage Biology & Therapeutics SIG ) and moving onto the ASM communities platform ( Login - Australian Society for Microbiology ). I would like to encourage everyone to sign up for an account on ASM communities, to join the Bacteriophage community, and select receive notifications for any posts made. We will continue to post updates on our blog site in the meanwhile, but the long term plan is to transition our SIG communication to ASM communities and quarterly email updates. In other news, we are planning some PhD and ECR focused Bacteriophage SIG events for '22. We will have more news in the coming months, but if you could let any interested students and phage researchers know about this that would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,

Bacteriophage Biology & Therapeutics SIG
