As the first microbiome-based therapeutic steps closer to market approval, the scientific community continue to demonstrate the functional role of the human microbiome as a novel source of therapeutic, biomarker and diagnostic development. Despite this progress, the vast potential to develop effective treatments that target the human microbiome is still limited by the complex challenges in developing them.

Part of the foremost conference series for microbiome researchers in industry, the 4th Microbiome Movement – Drug Development Europe 2020 returns to unite leading scientists from the biopharmaceutical and academic community to pursue the causal role of the microbiome in disease, and help create a new generation of microbiome-targeted therapeutics with predictable modes of action and consistent clinical outcomes.
