This is the FIRST live streamed only, three day professional conference discussing Bacteriophages. We have gathered together invited speakers from around the world, who you might not otherwise have access to.
Oral presentation submission deadline – 10th October 2016
Early registration deadline – 20th November 2016
This live streamed event will discuss emerging research relating to bacteriophage structure and mechanism of action, and their application in medical and industrial biotechnologies.
Who Should Attend: This event is aimed at those interested in the biology of bacteriophages and their applications in biotechnology, including research scientists, academics and pharmaceutical professionals.

Deadlines
Oral presentation submission deadline – 10th October 2016
Early registration deadline – 20th November 2016
Poster presentation submission deadline – 3rd January 2017
The event will be recorded and available for all registered delegates up to a month after the event. So if you can’t manage all the days, or the different time zones, you can still have access to the full event.
A Euroscicon live streamed event gives you access to a wider range of international speakers at a fraction of the cost of a real world event. Furthermore, you no longer have to worry about travel or accommodation expenses, or any arrangements you have which clash with our events.
Bacteriophage 2017 has an open abstract session:
Abstracts can be submitted on any subject related to Bacteriophages
