Updates on our keynotes
We’re delighted to open the meeting with Prof Stuart Neil (KCL). On Day 2, we continue with Prof Jose Bengoechea (LSHTM).
Both Prof Neil and Bengoechea have been outstanding mentors throughout their careers. We hope our ECRs will take the opportunity to interact with them!
We can't wait to see you at the UK cellular microbiology meeting next Monday and Tuesday (2-3 June)! Final programme below!
