The Human Microbiome Conference will be held on 16-19 September 2018 at EMBL Heidelberg, Germany.

Human microbiota – the collection of microbes living in and on our body – have a significant impact on human health and well-being. They have been associated with numerous diseases, yet we have barely understood their role in the context of life-style and genetics. This conference will provide plentiful opportunities for researchers to learn about and to connect to important developments in studying the human microbiota.
