4th Exploring Human Host-Microbiome Interactions in Health & Disease

 Conference - Cambridge, United Kingdom

The 4th Exploring Human Host-Microbiome Interactions in Health and Disease meeting will once again bring together leading scientists and clinicians from the fields of microbiology, ecology, immunology, gastroenterology, dermatology and public health to discuss the latest developments in this fast-moving field.

Recent studies have revealed the extraordinary complexity of the gut microbial ecology and its network connectivity to the metabolic regulation of important pathways in the host. Alterations in the composition of the microbiome have been associated with many non-infectious diseases including inflammatory bowel conditions, autoimmune diseases, cancers and diabetes. Studies on microbiota from other body sites are helping us to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of how microorganisms affect the host.
