The Letters in Applied Microbiology Early Career Scientist Research Symposium (LAMECS) returns on Thursday 18 June 2026 at Manchester Metropolitan University Business School!
Now in it's 15th year, LAMECS is designed especially for students and early career researchers and is to:
🔵 Present research in a friendly & supportive environment (poster or 15-min talk)
🔵 Connect with early career researchers & established professionals
🔵 Gain insights into publishing, policy, and cutting-edge microbiology research
This year’s programme spans all aspects of applied microbiology, including food, health, environment, industry, and microbial ecology.

Waiting too long to know about the end like the last episode of my favourite TV show 🤣 Finally it paid off and what an amazing story .. congratulations 🥳
👋🏻 I'm absolutely glee-ridden to finally see our study on the RNA- and DNA-binding anti-CRISPR repressor Aca2 published in @Nature. 🥳 This unassuming little helix–turn–helix protein packs quite the punch! 🧶👇🏻

Proud to share our lab’s work on anti-#CRISPR regulation out in @Nature. Came about from following up on those interesting things that don’t quite make sense… #curiosity. Check out the short explainer from @NilsBirkholz 👇
