The microbiome research community at UW-Madison is rich and diverse, yet scattered across multiple departments and schools. To bring this community together, we are hosting the UW Microbiome Symposium.
We invite researchers from across campus to join us on May 26, 2026, at the Discovery Building (DeLuca Forum) for a day showcasing our collective work.
This year's theme, "The Gut-Brain Axis," will feature invited talks from investigators working in this and related fields. In addition to these focused presentations, the symposium will include a general poster session highlighting a broad range of microbiome and CNS-related research conducted at UW. All are welcome to attend.
Registration is free. Breakfast, lunch and light snacks at the poster reception are included.
Symposium date: 26th May 2026
Abstract deadlines:
Oral Presentation: Friday 24th April 2026
Poster Presentation: Monday 4th May 2026
