GMS 2011 "Gut Microbiota in Health and Disease"

The aim of this meeting is to discuss new findings on the microbial communities that reside in our gut and to provide a better understanding of how these microbes affect health and disease. To explore this avenue further, we are organizing a one-day symposium on May 30th 2011 featuring young scientists at the very forefront of the field. The symposium will cover areas such as microbial communities (ecology, metabolism) and mucosal immunology and will be of interest to researchers from academia, clinics and industry.
