The Thesinge Biofilm Meeting is a long-standing, high-level scientific meeting dedicated to biomaterial-associated infection and biofilm research. The 2026 meeting marks the final edition of this series, which has historically been known for its focused scope, depth of discussion and strong scientific quality.
The programme concentrates on fundamental mechanisms of biofilm formation and persistence on biomaterial surfaces, host–pathogen interactions, antimicrobial tolerance and experimental models of implant-associated infection. Emphasis is placed on mechanistic understanding and early translational insight rather than clinical application or treatment algorithms.
The Thesinge meeting is a research-oriented forum aimed at scientists working on biofilms, biomaterials and infection biology who value in-depth discussion and close interaction over scale. It is particularly relevant for researchers interested in the biological foundations of implant-associated infection and the challenges of translating these insights into future preventive or therapeutic strategies.
