9th Joint Symposium organised by the Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health and the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, Clermont-Ferrand-Theix (France)
Scope of the Conference
The overall aim of the conference is to promote understanding of the role of the complex microbial ecosystems present in the digestive tract of man and animals, in maintaining health of the host.
This includes elucidating links between the microbial ecology of the digestive tract and the roles of specific genes in the interplay both between micro-organisms, and between micro-organisms and their hosts. The conference is of interest to those working to improve human and animal health and nutrition through dietary manipulation.
Topics to be addressed will include:
- Microbial diversity in health and disease
- The relationship between (meta)genomic sequences and microbial activity
- Microbial metabolism of dietary components and functional foods
- Microbial interactions with the host
ISAPP
We are delighted to announce that the third day of the conference is a symposium co-hosted by the Rowett-INRA and ISAPP (International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics) featuring additional invited speakers and offered talks.
