Wellcome Connecting Science is organising a Virtual Conference between 13–15 October 2021 on Microbiome Interactions in Health and Disease.

The 10th Microbiome Interactions in Health and Disease meeting will once again bring together leading scientists and clinicians from the fields of microbiology, gastroenterology, neuroscience and public health to discuss the latest developments in this fast-moving area. This year’s meeting will focus on immune–microbiome interactions and the impact of drugs on the microbiome. We will also discuss interactions between the gut and nervous system and explore the biological understanding emerging from large-scale microbiome studies. Finally, the influence of microbiome on pathogens and infectious disease will be featured.

Topics will include:

• Microbiome–immune interactions
• Bugs and Drugs
• Microbiome, gut and nervous system interactions
• Large-scale microbiome studies
• Microbiome, pathogens and infection
