Microbiome Futures is a landmark event that will document the future of microbiome research and commercialisation.
The live event, on May 23, will be the culmination of a thorough research process during which the working group will be gathering input from a global pool of stakeholders in the microbiome space. They will come prepared, having researched and discussed issues from the science of moving from correlation to causation to practical solutions to data and regulatory hurdles.
The main format will be a panel discussion, moderated by Susan Jones, Senior Editor at Nature Biotechnology and Gaspar Taroncher-Oldenburg, consultant-in-residence for Global Engage.
Combining the summary and analysis of the event’s discussions, the working group’s feedback, and the KOLs’ input, it will be published in Nature Biotechnology as the white paper: Roadmap for Microbiome Translation.
The unique opportunity to steer the panel’s white paper before publication.
Join a select group of leading scientists, business executives, investors and stakeholders to collaboratively discuss the future of microbiome translation.
A panel of experts will lead discussions with the audience in a unique forum to create and publish a roadmap for microbiome translation.
The live event will be the culmination of a thorough research process, currently ongoing, where the working group is gathering input from a global pool of stakeholders in the microbiome space. The audience will be asked to participate through posing questions to the panel and offering input on their own areas of experience. Everything will be documented for consideration of inclusion in the final white paper.

Great expectations have been raised over the last two decades by advances made in unlocking the mysteries of the microbiome and by first inroads taken into harnessing the resulting scientific insights for wellness and therapeutic purposes.
Microbial ecology and synthetic biology are rapidly becoming allies in the race to develop novel therapeutic strategies in the microbiome space.
“We need a shift from correlation to causation to support further progress,” says Weizmann Institute of Science’s Eran Elinav, echoing a widely espoused sentiment in the microbiome space.
