Microfluidics has emerged as a transformative technology that bridges the gap between traditional laboratory techniques and cutting-edge biological research. We have invited world-leading multidisciplinary experts as plenary and keynote speakers to talk about recent research progress on microfluidics for sensing single microbes in environmental samples. The newly developed technology could be potentially applied for wastewater surveillance and provide insight into the mechanism of antibiotic resistance genes transmission among microbial communities, such as horizontal gene transfer and host-phage infection. It is also applicable to other environmental samples, such as soil and ocean for environmental studies under one health perspective. We are especially trying to encourage our early career researchers and students to engage with world-leading scientist. Everyone interested in this research area is welcome to attend the symposium for knowledge exchange, developing research ideas, and future collaborations.
