Call for Abstracts

We are pleased to announce that the Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology (SIMB), the Korean Society for Microbiology and Biotechnology (KMB), and the Society of Actinomycetes Japan (SAJ) are jointly holding the sixth international conference on “Natural Product Discovery and Development in the Genomic Era”.  The meeting, which is scheduled for January 17- 21 2027, will take place at the Hyatt Regency Long Beach, Long Beach, USA and will be chaired by Jaclyn Winter.  

We have put together an outstanding program to document the current advances in natural products discovery and development.
