Why Attend
The 7th Annual Microbiome Connect: USA 2022 is dedicated to showcasing the leading drug development and consumer product platforms applying live microbial consortia, engineered microbes, and microbial-derived metabolites for therapeutic and health applications in patients and consumers.
As the first EMA approved microbiome-targeted therapeutics emerge on the horizon, drug developers will have the opportunity to benchmark their rational drug platforms, targeting validated pathways in gastrointestinal, neurological, metabolic disorders, as well as oncology-based indications.
Furthermore, separate tracks will be committed to developing novel, clinical-validated product formulations for nutritional, digestive wellness, oral and skin care applications.
Join us to hear from microbiome biotechs, pharma voices, investment bodies, consumer product brands and more on how to develop robust, scalable, and reproducible formulations for microbe-derived/-targeting products entering late-stage investigations and reaching for the market.
