Cell Symposia: Microbiome and Host Health

Symposium - Lisbon, Portugal

This meeting aims to explore the composition, diversity, and dynamics of the microbiome; to examine the microbiome's influence on various aspects of host physiology; to understand the forces that perturb the microbiome-host balance; to outline the basis of diseases resulting from alterations to the microbiome; and, coming full circle, to discuss therapeutic approaches to how the host-microbiome balance, and thus host health, can be restored. The meeting will bring together researchers who have been delving into the microbial aspects of this system with researchers who study the host's physiology in health and disease, including infection, immunity, metabolism, and cancer.
