SUMMARY:HCMPH Center Annual Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Home / Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThings we have learned about TB transmission and progression from our cohort studies in Lima\, Peru\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n	Lectures/Seminars/Forums\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to welcome everyone to the eighth annual Harvard Chan Microbiome in Public Health Center (HCMPH) symposium. As microbial community science expands across industry\, clinical research\, biotech\, and pharma\, this year’s theme – translating the microbiome – focuses on turning discovery into implementation. From the first approved live biotherapeutics to microbiome-informed cancer immunotherapy\, the field is already reshaping how we understand health and develop therapies.  \n\n\n\nThe symposium will highlight recent advances while looking ahead to future opportunities\, including microbial biochemistry in small-molecule drug development and engineering of microbial community members. As always\, we hope to be joined by an audience that is both topically and geographically diverse\, online and in person. The symposium program will include keynotes\, invited talks\, and selected presentations from poster submissions. We collect a nominal fee for in-person registration\, with virtual attendance available for free. Refreshments and a poster presentation are offered on-site\, and support for social media and interactive participation are provided for online attendees. \n\n\n\nFor more information on the event and the poster reception\, please visit this link. \n\n\n\n** REGISTRATION **\n\n\n\nIn-person registration is available: HEREVirtual registration continues to be free and is available here: virtual attendance only \n\n\n\nLocation:Harvard T.H.
