On April 21 and 22, we held Microbes in Women’s Health 2026 in Valencia, an international meeting focused on the role of the microbiome in women’s health and its growing relevance in areas such as fertility, gynecology, and clinical practice.
Organized together with The Microbiome Times, the congress brought together researchers, clinicians, industry professionals, and sector representatives to share knowledge, discuss emerging evidence, and exchange perspectives on one of the most active areas of current biomedical research.
Across two days, the program explored topics related to the vaginal and endometrial microbiome, their interaction with the host, and their potential impact across different stages and conditions in women’s health. The sessions offered a broad view of the field today, combining basic research, clinical application, and dialogue across disciplines.
Beyond the scientific content, the meeting also created space for international exchange and for new conversations on how these advances can be translated into better care and more informed clinical approaches for patients. The level of engagement from both speakers and attendees reflected the growing interest in this field.
For us, hosting this congress in Valencia was also an opportunity to continue fostering spaces for dialogue around women’s health, bringing together science, clinical practice, and international collaboration.
Microbes in Women’s Health 2026 closed after two days of talks, discussion, and networking in a city that became, for this edition, a meeting point for the scientific and professional community interested in the present and future of the microbiome in women’s health.
