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 5th 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 6th and 7th of March 2019 in Taiwan. It is co-located with the 4th Probiotics Congress Asia.
The Taiwan Microbiome Congress is organized by National Central University and National Chiao Tung University (GLORIA) of Taiwan
These three meetings offer a strong focus on Asia, including an update from the Asian gut microbiome project, and are unmissable. They bring together leading global and regional researchers and key industry players working towards bringing microbiome discoveries to the market.
The full 2019 speaker panel can be found here
Be part of a meeting that is not only renowned not only for the quality of the scientific presentations but also for enabling researchers to access the finance that supports the development of exciting new products and services.
With time and space for sharing knowledge and networking opportunities, this congress is designed to promote the development of meaningful long-term relationships as well as excellent learning outcomes. Over two days you will find out more about the interface between the microbiome and the environment, culture and technologies. With built-in networking sessions, expert-led case study presentations, a dynamic exhibition room filled with technology providers showcasing their technologies and solutions, and panel discussions exploring key issues in the field this meeting is one you should not miss.
