Oxford Nanopore at ASM Microbe 2025
In light of the recent events in Los Angeles, we’ve made the difficult decision to withdraw from ASM Microbe 2025.
The decision was difficult as ASM is always a highlight for us, and we were truly looking forward to connecting with so many of you in person.
We’re now working with our fantastic speakers— Robert James, Angela Hickey, and Jose Alexander —to bring their research to you in a virtual webinar next week. Please register below if you would like to attend the webinar.
Thank you for your understanding.
We’re already looking forward to seeing you at next year’s ASM and connecting at other events throughout the year.

Industry Event
From cultures to communities: Exploring microbes with Oxford Nanopore sequencing
Location: webinar details to follow
This session examines the diverse applications of Oxford Nanopore sequencing across the microbial research spectrum; from individual bacterial isolates to complex microbial communities. Speakers will showcase how real-time, long-read sequencing is transforming clinical microbiology, utilizing automated workflows for rapid pathogen identification and surveillance. The session will also explore human microbiome studies, metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) as well as the cutting-edge bioinformatic tools and software for microbiome analysis. Whether you're working with cultures in the lab or diverse communities in the gut, this session offers a comprehensive look at how Oxford Nanopore is advancing microbial genomics.
