Just two weeks to go until SMi’s flagship Pharmaceutical Microbiology UK Conference 

SMi reports: The countdown begins for the long anticipated 9th Annual Pharmaceutical Microbiology UK Conference in London this month. 

The 9th Annual Pharmaceutical Microbiology UK Conference will take place at the Copthorne Tara Hotel in London on 20 and 21 January 2020.
