Microbial Communities – The Science and Translational Perspectives

Microbial Communities – The Science and Translational Perspectives

 

Join us for the upcoming workshop, Microbial Communities – The Science and Translational Perspectives, where we’ll explore the latest breakthroughs in building and studying these intricate ecosystems. Discover how understanding microbial communities can lead to real-world applications in areas like gut and skin health, plant growth, aquaculture, carbon capture, circular economy and even bioremediation.

Get involved in an exciting discussion through these main focus groups

  1. Agriculture-Soil and Plant health
  2. Aquaculture-Water and Fish health
  3. Circular economy, Bioremediation and Carbon capture
  4. Human health

 

📅 Date: 4 Dec 2024
🕒 Time: 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM
📍 Location: Fusionopolis 2, Innovis, Level 8, Tech Marketplace
