From novel computational pipelines to the role of genetic variation in disease resistance, this webinar provided microbiologists, students, and enthusiasts with a front-row seat to emerging tools, insights, and breakthroughs shaping our understanding of microbial life at the molecular level.

Indigenous microbiology explores microbial knowledge connected to Indigenous communities, their environments, and traditional practices. This FEMS Microbes thematic issue welcomes submissions on topics including traditional foods and beverages, environmental interactions, therapeutic microbial compounds, and approaches that bridge Indigenous knowledge and modern microbiology.

Deadline: 30 June 2026

Computational approaches to microbial communities are transforming how scientists understand and engineer microbiomes. This FEMS Microbiology Ecology thematic issue welcomes submissions exploring bioinformatics, modeling, and machine learning approaches to analyze microbial communities and design synthetic consortia for environmental and biotechnological applications.

Deadline approaching soon (March 2026)

FEMS is saddened to learn of the passing of Prof. Jeff Cole, former Editor-in-Chief of FEMS Microbiology Letters. He was committed to advancing the field & supporting young scientists. His legacy will continue to shape the community he helped nurture.
