Welcome to the 4th World Congress on Targeting Microbiota

Dear Colleagues, 

It is our pleasure to announce the 4th World Congress on Targeting Microbiota which will be held at Institut Pasteur in Paris, France on October 17-19, 2016. 

A substantial amount of evidence has shown that a diverse population of micro-organisms live in our skin, mouth, nose, lungs and intestines, where they play a strategic role in regulating and possibly controlling human health, well-being, metabolism and diseases.

Among Targeting Microbiota 2016 sessions selected by the scientific committee: 

• Microbiota 2016: Recent Advances & Perspectives
• Microbiota analysis 2016: The challenge of big data interpretation
• Skin Microbiota: Recent advances and perspectives
• Challenges to control the diversity and quality of microbiota by:
  • Phage therapy
  • Diet, probiotics and prebiotics
  • CRISPR/Cas system
  • Quorum sensing
  • Fecal Microbiota Transplantation: Clinical & Practical Issues

To conclude this congress, a general discussion on Microbiota and the medicine of tomorrow will be held between speakers, scientists and industrials.

We hope that you will join us for this special program and look forward to welcoming you in Paris.

Yuri Ikeda - Chairman of the International Society of Microbiota
