In this panel discussion, an immunologist, a soil scientist and an infectious disease biologist will show you just how important microorganisms are to our lives. Together, we will look at what we already know about the microbiomes in our bodies and in the environment – and why research in this field is raising such high hopes.

At the same time, you will learn where gaps in our knowledge still exist and how modern microbiome research in Switzerland, particularly within the NCCR Microbiomes, is helping to advance this knowledge and put it to practical use.
