Why Attend
The Annual European Microbiome Congress has become a trusted learning and networking platform for leading academics, practicing clinicians, pharmaceutical and nutrition companies, biotech entrepreneurs and investors, government and regulatory bodies and industry leaders who require insight into the latest microbiome research, clinical trials and multi-disciplinary collaborations.
Join us for 2.5 days of intense networking, unpublished research and translational case studies. On the13th we have a pre-conference workshop day and the 14th-15th is the main conference.
In addition to the open networking available the dedicated poster session is a great way to get your research noticed and further involve yourself with the congress!
World Class Speaker faculty will provide key take-aways on how to implement their methods on the following areas:
-Multi-omics analysis
-Illucidating mechanisms & networks
-Systems biology approaches
What's New for 2018
Functional microbiome studies: beyond sequencing
Accelerate drug development through metabolomics & multi-omics approaches to identify novel targets
Microbial dark matter: Culturing the unculturable
Explore the methods and protocols being developed to cultivate unculturable or low abundance bacteria to provide a fuller understanding of microbial communities and networks
Bioinformatics 101
Recognise how to integrate bioinformatics into study design to maximise on research outputs
Early Life Microbiome
Determine the influence of the infant and maternal microbiomes on immune development and health outcomes

The Speakers
Rose Szabady
Dr. Jordana T. Bell
Jordana Bell is a Senior Lecturer at King's College London. She studies the genomic basis of complex human disease in human populations, focusing on intermediate phenotypes including variation in epigenetic and microbiome profiles. In the context of human microbiome research, Jordana has contributed towards characterising host genetic and environmental influences on the gut microbiome, and understanding how variation in the microbiome relates to metabolic health.

Talk to me about… your research
I am the chief scientific officer at Da Volterra, a French biotechnology company, headquartered in Paris, France. Da Volterra is committed to the discovery and development of innovative approaches to prevent the deleterious consequences of antibiotic treatments on the intestinal microbiota, including the emergence and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance, as well as the occurrence of infections by opportunistic pathogens such as Clostridium difficile. Prior to that, I led an academic career as a cell biologist focusing on signal transduction and oncogenesis, ultimately leading a research laboratory at the Institut Curie in Paris.
Talk to me about…something people may not know about you
I was born in Canada, lived for most of my life in France, and am now based in the London. I am an avid off-piste skier, in the French and Swiss Alps. I particularly enjoy the slow hiking/skinning up the mountains which gives me time to appreciate the fabulous scenery, and to think in depth about new and arising matters, in particular in relation to my research.

Professor Jeroen Raes
Jeroen Raes is group leader of the Bioinformatics and (eco-)Systems Biology (BSB) research group at VIB in Brussels. He has an extensive track record in meta-omics and microbiome research. He is associate editor for ISME journal, Scientific Reports (Nature publishing group), SIGS and Genomics Insights and is reviewer and/or committee member for ANR/NWO/FWO/ERC proposals.The Raes lab combines large-scale, next-generation sequencing with novel computational approaches to investigate the functioning and variability of the healthy human microbiome at the systems level and studies its alteration in disease.

Shahram Lavasani
Dr. Shahram Lavasani is an international keynote speaker and entrepreneur in the field of the microbiome. He received his PhD in Immunology from Lund University/Sweden. With more than two decades of teaching and research expertise on Gut-Brain axis, he has pioneered research in multiple sclerosis by demonstrating gut inflammation and barrier dysfunction and introduced microbiota-based therapies using probiotic bacterial consortia. He is the founder of ImmuneBiotech developing novel microbiome therapeutics. The company has access to a proprietary lactobacilli library and advanced selection technologies to design nutritional formulations for optimal management of the diseases. ImmuneBiotech´s first product GutMagnific® has been designed to address the underlying causes of IBS and it is currently investigated, in collaboration with Karolinska Institute, for treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) a neuroimmune condition and a possible long-term effect of Covid-19. GutMagnific® has successfully been launched in October 2019.
