Clinical microbiology program highlights
At ADLM 2025, clinical microbiologists join a larger diagnostic community that values innovation, collaboration, and measurable impact on patient care. It’s a convergence of expertise that speaks directly to the complexity of infectious disease diagnostics in practice.
From practical strategies to translational research, the program reflects the realities microbiologists face every day. And you’ll be surrounded by peers across laboratory medicine who understand the stakes of accurate results and who bring unique lab expertise—from informatics to regulatory strategy—that can reshape what’s possible in your lab.
Plenary session on AI and microbiology
Jack Gilbert, PhD will present on how we can use AI to decode how diet shapes health in “Precision microbiome medicine.”
