2020 ISB Virtual Microbiome Series
The inaugural ISB Virtual Microbiome Series highlighted recent in silico, in vitro, and in vivo advances toward engineering the gut microbiome to resolve complex diseases.
We hosted the 2020 ISB Virtual Microbiome Series consisting of a one-day virtual course and a one-day symposium examining the latest cutting-edge microbiome research.
This was the inaugural microbiome series of its kind and was geared toward graduate students, postdocs, principal investigators, industry scientists, educators, clinicians, or any other variety of microbiome-curious people from across the globe.
The event was recorded. Scroll down to see the full collection of videos.
Series background
When a new scientific discipline is born, there is an initial natural history phase, where explorers map out the contours of the unknown. For the past couple of decades, we have characterized the form and function of microbial ecosystems in and on the human body.
Now, with this wealth of information collected on the human microbiome serving as a foundation, we have entered into a new phase of testing targeted, mechanistic hypotheses for how our microbiota contribute to the etiologies of diseases.
ISB hosted a series of events in October of 2020 that highlighted recent in silico, in vitro, and in vivo advances toward engineering the gut microbiome to resolve complex diseases.
