List Labs is proud to support the 2026 Microbes as Therapeutics Gordon Research Conference, taking place August 2–7 at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine.
Our President, Stacy Burns-Guydish, PhD, will present:
“Overcoming Process Development Challenges in Live Biotherapeutic Manufacturing”

For live biotherapeutics, promising biology must ultimately become a reproducible, scalable, and well-characterized product. Stacy will discuss process-development challenges that can influence manufacturing success and clinical readiness—and the importance of addressing them early.

We look forward to exchanging ideas with scientists and industry leaders advancing engineered microbes as therapeutics. If you are attending, we hope you will connect with Stacy.

The Microbes as Therapeutics GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes an array of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
