Are you looking for a good scientific microbiome research symposium? Over the next three months, you have six exciting microbiome conferences from which to choose.
The three-day schedule includes a plenary session on the frontiers of metagenomics medicine and sessions focusing on environmental crosstalk with the microbiome - taking microbiome science beyond the gut and host-microbiome interactions.
There's such a variety of microbiome conferences to choose from, microbiome researchers are spoiled for choice this fall.

Breakdown of Microbiome Conferences
World Congress on Targeting Microbiota 2016
Organized by the International Society of Microbiota, the World Congress on Targeting Microbiota 2016 is a three-day meeting at the Institute Pasteur in Paris covering a variety of topics. Sessions include topics such as:- Recent advances and perspectives.
- Microbiota and skin.
- Microbiota interpretation and big data.
- Challenges to controlling the diversity and quality of microbiota.
Gut Microbiome 2016
Gut Microbiome 2016, in Manipal, India, is a two-day microbiome conference with a more clinical focus. Disease areas covered include infectious disease, IBD and food-borne illness.Advancing Microbiome Research Symposium: Microbiome and Disease
Can't make it to Paris or Manipal? On November 3, the Advancing Microbiome Research Symposium: Microbiome & Disease event in Potomac, MD, offers a packed, full-day agenda with 15 speakers. Keynote speaker Odile Engel of the US Food and Drug Administration will present a talk entitled "Microbiome, Disease and Therapeutics ".
The meeting includes a session on practical considerations for microbiome studies, with talks including:
- Robert Beiko of Dalhousie University on "Common Assumptions and Pitfalls of Microbiome Analysis"
- Aaron Ericsson of the University of Missouri on "Complex Microbiota Targeted Rederivation - A New Paradigm in Gnotobiology"
International Human Microbiome Congress
The sixth session of the International Human Microbiome Congress the first to be held in the United States. The organizers expect 600-700 scientists and researchers to attend.The three-day schedule includes a plenary session on the frontiers of metagenomics medicine and sessions focusing on environmental crosstalk with the microbiome - taking microbiome science beyond the gut and host-microbiome interactions.
Advancing Microbiome Research Symposium: Microbiome & Disease
On Nov 17, the Advancing Microbiome Research Symposium: Microbiome & Disease in Chicago, IL, features a keynote presentation, "Sepsis and Microbiome" presented by Thomas Griffith of the University of Minnesota.
The session on metabolic disease & microbiome features:
Additional sessions at the symposium will cover immunity & autoimmunity and cancer & the microbiome.
- "Effects of Food Matrix and Western Diet on Colorectal Cancer and Metabolism in C57BL/6 Mice" by Korry Hintze of Utah State University
- "Dialogue Between Host Metabolism and Gut Microbiota" by David Alvarado of Washington University
- "Exercise as a Lens to View the Microbiome and Intestinal Health" by Sara Campbell of Rutgers University
Microbial Communities: Modelling Meets Experiments
In December, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) has organized a course entitled "Microbial Communities: Modelling Meets Experiments".According to the EMBL:
"The course will introduce state-of-the art modeling and experimental tools for discovering and analyzing species interactions in microbial communities, with a particular focus on metabolic dependencies."
With attendance limited to a small group, the course offers hands-on practical work and close supervision by faculty.
