They have been associated with numerous diseases, yet we are still far from understanding their role in the context of lifestyle and genetics. Various initiatives are underway around the world to survey the human microbiota at several body sites, characterise them, understand their interactions with the human hosts, elucidate their role in diseases, and design possible therapeutic or dietary interventions. There is a new wave of studies mining the human microbiota for health-relevant bioactive compounds, for characterising specific microbial strains and for cataloguing the human microbiota from all across the globe. This conference will provide plentiful opportunities for researchers to learn about and to connect to important developments in studying the human microbiota. The return of this established meeting will bring together the community for a timely, in-person symposium picking up on developments across the field since the last edition in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For 2023, sessions will focus on the human microbiome across biological time and in nutrition and drugs, host-microbe interactions, integrative approaches in microbiome research and methodological advances in microbiome analysis. The final session will look to the future of microbiome research and translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Methodological advances in microbiome analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The human microbiome across biological age<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The human microbiome in nutrition and drugs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Host-microbe interactions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integrative approaches in microbiome research<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Future outlook for microbiome research and translation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What past participants say about the conference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;This meeting was in my top 3 of best meetings ever that I attended.

On one hand, metagenomic sequencing is attractive for its straightforward sequencing library preparation from bulk environmental samples but only offers limited resolution into individual species. On the other hand, single-microbe sequencing offers true single-clone resolution but can only meaningfully address the high biological diversity expected in environmental samples if performed on thousands of individual cells in parallel. To satisfy the need to study such large numbers of single-microbes per sample, well- and droplet-based approaches keep evolving in parallel to provide single-cell compartmentalization required during sequencing library preparation. However, these approaches suffer from a fundamental trade-off between throughput and versatility. Being individually addressable, microwells enable multi-step processing but are not scalable. Droplets offer a throughput of up to a million cells per experiment but only allow a limited number of processing steps to be performed. The later limitation is severely felt when it comes to microbial research, as harsh conditions typically required for lysis are incompatible with downstream nucleic acid barcoding steps. Our Semi-Permeable Capsule (SPC) technology combines the throughput of droplets with the versatility of wells by enabling a virtually unlimited number of processing steps on genetic material from millions of individual microbes in parallel. We demonstrate the use of SPCs for barcoding &gt;100,000 individual microbial genomes to obtain single-microbe whole genome sequencing data of unprecedented quality.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","embl_taxonomy":[],"class_list":["post-38838","vf_event","type-vf_event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"embl_taxonomy_terms":[],"vf_event_start_date":{"value":"20230920","formatted":"20 September 2023"},"vf_event_end_date":{"value":"20230923","formatted":"23 September 2023"},"vf_event_submission_opening":{"value":"","formatted":""},"vf_event_submission_closing":{"value":"20230628","formatted":"28 Jun 2023"},"vf_event_registration_opening":{"value":"","formatted":""},"vf_event_registration_closing":{"value":"20230919","formatted":"19 Sep 2023"},"vf_event_summary":{"value":"Human microbiota - the collection of microbes living in and on our body - have a significant impact on human health and well-being.
