Dear Colleagues

I am pleased to invite you to the 19th Medical Biodefense Conference (MBDC2025) in Munich! This time, the conference will take place during the beautiful Bavarian Spring from April 7 to 10, 2025.

The theme of the conference is „Innovations and Challenges in Medical Biodefense and Synthetic Biology.“ As biological engineering and artificial intelligence are increasingly integrated into the life sciences, their impact on the safety and health of armed forces, public health and biological research cannot be overstated.

MBDC2025 offers a unique opportunity to delve into the latest developments in these critical areas, exchange ideas with leading experts, and explore potential collaborations. The recent global health crises have underscored the vital importance of collaboration in combating both emerging and re-emerging diseases. In this regard, the field of medical biodefense has significantly contributed to scientific advancements, even amid political turbulence, achieving remarkable success.

Through plenary sessions, poster exhibitions, and workshops, we will address the most pressing challenges and latest innovations in medical biodefense, including pandemic preparedness and response. We invite you to share your latest findings and research with our scientific community. Attendees can look forward to keynote presentations from esteemed international experts in the field.

We look forward to welcoming you to Munich for an enriching and inspiring conference!

Kind regards,

Prof Roman Wölfel, MD, PhD, DTMH
Colonel and Institute Director
