Stevens Conference on Bacteria-Material Interactions

The Stevens Conference on Bacteria-Material Interactions addresses the many dimensions associated with how different stakeholder communities can converge to push the rate of device-associated infection towards zero over the coming decade and beyond.

The 7th Stevens Conference on Bacteria-Material Interactions is planned for 2025.

2023 Conference

The 6th Stevens Conference on Bacteria-Material Interactions was held May 31-June 1, 2023 on the Stevens Institute of Technology campus in Hoboken, NJ.
