A conference entitled 'Exploring human host-microbiome interaction in health and disease' will take place from 8 to 10 May 2012 in Cambridge, UK.
It has long been thought that the lower intestines contributed little towards human nutrition. Recent studies, however, have indicated that colonic microflora appear to play a vital role in health. It also appears that the role of the large bowel in health may have been underestimated. Being able to understand the role of the gut microbial ecology and microbiome will offer new insights into major disease processes and discovery of new therapeutic strategies that either target the microbiome directly or use this information in new stratified medicine approaches.
The conference will bring together scientists, researchers in the field of immunology, microbiology, ecology, immunology, gastroenterology and paediatrics to discuss the latest developments in this field. Session topics will include:
-
-development and diversity of the microbiome;
-
-the influence of the microbiome on disease;
-
-metabolism interactions;
-
-modulating the microbiome (probiotics and prebiotics);
-
-functional metagenomics and integrated systems biology;
-
-drugable therapies.
