Microbiome Movement - Maternal & Infant Health Summit

1st Microbiome Movement - Maternal & Infant Health Summit is organized by Hanson Wade and will be held from May 22 - 24, 2019 at Revere Hotel Boston Common, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America.

Conference Description:
Compared to the development of microbiome-based products for adult disease, microbial-derived solutions for the pediatric setting have long been ignored. More recently, however, research investigating how the early life microbiome predisposes various health outcomes in infants is seeing an injection of scientific interest and investment.

The inaugural Microbiome Movement - Maternal and Infant Health Summit has been established to improve your understanding of the fundamental maternal-infant microbiome mechanisms of action and advance translation of this causality into evidence-based and clinically validated therapeutic, nutritional and preventative solutions that will configure healthy foundations of the microbiome within the first 1000 days of life.

This first-of-its-kind event is your opportunity to learn from the expertise of key opinion leaders from large pharma, biotech and academic research institutes presenting the latest case studies and in-depth discussion on key topics including:

• Discovering the causal relationships between the maternal-infant microbiome and disease onset
• Exploring different therapeutic products that restore the infant microbiome, as well as treat and prevent disease
• Discussing study design for investigation of the microbiome in maternal and pediatric settings
• Understanding the role of the maternal microbiome in preterm birth and infant health outcomes
• Optimizing –omics and realizing how to integrate these data with novel pre-clinical modelling to generate clinically meaningful results
• Explaining regulatory processes for IND-approved products targeting maternal and infant populations
• Addressing public health, economic and educational considerations for commercializing microbiome-based products for mothers and infants

There is no question that the pre-, peri- and postnatal maternal and infant microbiomes are critical windows of opportunity, that need to be acted upon today.

Join us to unlock the therapeutic potential of the maternal-infant microbiome and proactively contribute to healthier clinical outcomes in new-borns brought into the world tomorrow.
