Guangzhou, China
3rd International Conference on Biofilms (Asia-Pacific Biofilms 2021) will be held during May 11-16, 2021 in Guangzhou, China.
Asia-Pacific Biofilms (formerly known as ChinaBiofilms) is a series of biennial international conferences on Microbial Biofilms. The conference is based on EuroBiofilms and ASM Biofilms models, highlighting academic and international characteristics. 1st International Symposium on Biofilms (ChinaBiofilms 2017) and 2nd International Conference on Biofilms (ChinaBiofilms 2019) were held on October 20-22, 2017 and October 9-13, 2019 respectively. Among them, 52 experts were invited to report in ChinaBiofilms 2019, and nearly 500 scholars from home and abroad participated in the conference. Professor Tom Coenye, President of ESBG of the European highest level Microbiological Society, presented in the annual report of "Biofilm Bash" in 2019 that the conference and EuroBiofilms (Biennial) sponsored by European and American highest level Microbiological Societies (ESCMID in Europe and ASM in the United States) and ASM Biofilms (once every three years) is also known as one of the three major international conferences in the field of Biofilms, which is the largest and highest level academic conference in Asia.
