We are pleased to announce the Puerto Rico Society of Microbiologists 69th Annual Meeting titled Microbiome: Invisible World, Visible Impact, which will take place on Friday, May 29th, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Hyatt Place San Juan in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
This event will bring together experts to explore the microbiome and the complex interactions between the host, microbial communities, pathogens, diet, and the environment.
