Welcome to the 13th UCMR Day, January 20th 2022!
We cordially invite you to join us for the UCMR Day 2022, which will be held as an online conference!
Due to increased spread of infection and increased strain on the healthcare system, the Swedish Government has introduced a new action plan of COVID measures that took effect on 8 December. As a response to this, the Vice-Chancellor adopted a revised decision for Umeå University that implies, among other things, that larger meetings and events should be implemented online or be postponed.
In order to comply with the rules, while still having the possibility to meet and interact within the UCMR community in a way that guarantees the safety of all participants, we decided to make the UCMR Day an online event only!
Scientists and staff members within UCMR (Umeå Centre for Microbial Research) research groups, collaboration partners and researchers with an interest in microbial research and/or infection biology are invited to a day of inspiring research presentations and an excellent opportunity for networking and initiation of multidisciplinary collaborations.
This one-day conference includes two international keynotes, scientific presentations by UCMR affiliated researchers, selected abstract talks and poster elevator pitches as well as physical poster presentations. The program includes several possibilities for UCMR scientists to interact digitally and network with each other.
More information and registration on the conference webpage www.ucmrday2022.se. Deadline for submission of abstracts is Dec 12th!
Keynote speakers:
Kayla King, Department of Zoology, Oxford University Päivi Ojala, Department of Pathology, University of Helsinki
