Key themes announced!
On the agenda at Probiota 2020 are engaging sessions tackling the multitude of microbiome modulators and their mechanisms of action. From probiotics and prebiotics to FMT, bacterial phages and other microbiome therapy approaches, Probiota 2020 sessions will dig deep into the scientific frontiers of human microbiome research as we focus on the convergence of food and pharmaceutical industries in the microbiome space.
Don’t miss sessions on the potential applications of next-gen probiotics, a fresh look at the scientific frontiers and commercial applications of targeting the gut-brain axis, the importance of good clinical trial design in microbiome research, and a look at the growing interest around beauty from within and the skin microbiome.
In addition, we will take an in depth look at regulations and health claims – focusing particularly on how to retain credibility in the growing mass-market in a claimless environment and how the industry can better deal with fake claims – plus the rapidly developing conversations around QC and finished product standards, and tackling challenges in the formulation, production and upscaling of microbiome-targeting products.
Don’t miss key updates from the IPA, alongside, pitches and presentations from the latest microbiome start-up pioneers and engaging discussions on how to better engage with and educate consumers and medical professionals.
