Welcome to the 15th Asian Symposium on Microbial Ecology (ASME2025), a premier gathering for scientists, researchers, and practitioners dedicated to advancing the understanding of microbial ecosystems. Held from May 28–30, 2025, at the Gaesin Cultural Center, Chungbuk National University, ASME2025 provides a dynamic platform for sharing cutting-edge research, fostering collaborations, and discussing innovations that address global microbial ecology challenges.
The symposium sessions include:
Host-associated Microbial Ecology
Microbial Ecology & Climate Change
Environmental Engineering in Microbial Ecology
Epidemiology in Microbial Ecology
Bioinformatics for Microbial Ecology
Young Scientists in Microbial Ecology
Join us in the historic city of Cheongju, where science meets culture, and engage in a vibrant exchange of knowledge that will shape the future of microbial ecology. Together, let’s explore the unseen world of microbes and their profound influence on life as we know it. We look forward to welcoming you to ASME2025!
