5th Microbiome R&D and Business Collaboration Congress: Asia

R&D and Business Collaborations in Microbiota Research, Probiotics, Health and Disease

Co-hosts

Associated with immunity and behavioural traits, the microbiome is known to be paramount in maintaining health and preventing disease. What is also becoming clear is that the diversity of the Asia-Pacific region – geographically, culturally and economically – has produced variations in microbiota which may contribute to differences in how various diseases present and respond to standard treatments.

Against this backdrop, I am delighted to announce that the 5^th Microbiome R&D and Business Collaboration Congress Asia is co-hosted with the National Central University and National Chiao Tung University (GLORIA) of Taiwan. The congress takes place on the 6^th and 7^th of March 2019 in Taiwan. It is co-located with the 4th Probiotics Congress: Asia

With a strong focus on Asia, including an update from the Asian gut microbiome project, this unique meeting is unmissable. It brings together leading global and regional researchers and key industry players working towards bringing microbiome discoveries to the market.
