The One Health Microbiome Center (OHMC) in the Penn State Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences will host the One Health Microbiome Symposium on May 13 and 14, 2026. The symposium will bring together researchers from an ensemble of traditionally siloed disciplines to unify microbiome science, reflecting the center's mission. By welcoming industry partners and convening experts from the "One Health" pillars of human, agricultural and environmental health, the symposium highlights a central principle: Human health is inseparably linked to the health of our environment.

The Life Sciences Symposium (LSS) is an annual meeting organized by the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences and the Huck Graduate Student Advisory Committee (HGSAC) at Penn State. This year's theme is From Protocols to Pipelines: Connecting Bioinformatics with Experimental Biology. Since 2015, this free, all-day event has brought together hundreds of Penn State researchers from diverse scientific fields, promoting unique research collaborations, funding, and networking opportunities. The LSS features keynote speakers, student research presentations and posters, awards, and more.
Research ethics shape the quality, credibility, and impact of our work across every discipline. Penn State’s inaugural Research Ethics Conference brings together scholars, practitioners, and institutional leaders to explore emerging challenges and practical strategies for fostering integrity in today’s rapidly changing research environment.The one-day event will also recognize and celebrate individuals who exemplify integrity, accountability, and ethical leadership in research with the presentation of four awards. Registration and award nominations will open this summer.
