We are excited to announce the third edition of the International Symposium ‘Microbiome: From Benchtop to Bedside,’ which will take place on November 26th at the KAVA Congrescentrum in Antwerp, Belgium.
This symposium aims to bring together researchers, clinicians, and industrial partners to catalyze the translation of novel scientific insights in the microbiome field into clinical applications. Building on the success of our 2022 and 2023 symposia, which hosted around 150 participants each year, we are continuing to expand our international reach with invited speakers and participants from around the world.
The symposium will feature sessions about Microbiome & General Health (1), Disease (2) and Applications and Regulations (3).
Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more details on the agenda and registration. We look forward to your participation in this pivotal event in the microbiome research community.
Warm wishes on behalf of the organizing committee,
Dr. Camille Allonsius
Prof. Dr. Thomas Demuyser
Dr. Ludovica Marinelli
