Abstract Deadline: April 22 | Registration Deadline: April 22

The Houston C diff. & Microbiome Conference aims to bring together research trainees and researchers from infectious diseases laboratories in the Texas Medical Center, Houston and the surrounding area for a lively forum to discuss the latest findings and cutting-edge developments from their labs as well as foster new and exciting collaborations.

A major focus of the conference is to provide an outlet for trainees and junior scientists to share their work, discuss their data with leading scientists, and inspire the next generation of Clostridiodes difficile/ microbiome researchers.

In addition to two keynote speakers, abstracts are invited and competitively selected for oral presentation. Remaining abstracts will be presented during the course of one or more poster sessions, allowing every participant a chance to highlight their research. Attendees are encouraged to submit abstracts on their most recent or as-yet-unpublished work.
