More Information:

There are over 10 times as many microbial cells in the human body as there are human cells. These cells make up the human microbiome, communities of microbes, including bacteria and fungi that have greater complexity than the human genome itself. The microbiome can found in multiple sites across the human body for example, the gut, skin, and oral and nasal cavities which all have a different community of microbes. 

As the key interface between the body and the environment, the human microbiome has extensive functions to protect us against pathogens, develop immunity and aid in digestion and metabolism.

In the first events of our Virtual Series, running alongside our latest Global Challenges campaign, we’ll be speaking with external innovation and R&D leads at a number of companies in the microbiome space to hear about the roadblocks they face, and the priority research they’re looking for from academia to support their product and R&D pipelines.

Some of the topics covered will include:

  • The top priorities and technical challenges for each company
  • What research solutions companies are actively searching for from academia
  • The companies’ preferred approaches to partnering with academic research and expertise
