MICROBIOTEC remains a key international meeting point for the Portuguese microbiology and biotechnology community.
iBB researchers were strongly represented at MICROBIOTEC 2025, held in Azores (São Miguel), with contributions across keynotes, oral communications, posters, and scientific coordination.
Thank you to the organisers for creating space for discussion, exchange, and collaboration!
