Gut Microbiology: No longer the forgotten Organ - Rowett INRA Conference 2018

Gut Microbiology: No longer the forgotten Organ - Rowett INRA Conference 2018

The overall aim of the conference is to promote understanding of the role of the complex microbial ecosystems present in the digestive tract of man and animals, in maintaining health of the host. This includes elucidating links between the microbial ecology of the digestive tract and the roles of specific genes and microbial products in the interplay between micro-organisms, between micro-organisms and their hosts, and any effect of the host’s diet.
