A Workshop on the Impact of the Microbiome on Animals and Animal Models: Improving Translational Research in Health and Disease

Completed

This workshop examined animal models of microbiome research. Invited speakers explored how to improve the depth and breadth of analysis of microbial communities using various model organisms, addressed the challenges of standardization and biological variability that are inherent in gnotobiotic animal-based research, examined the predictability and translatability of preclinical studies to humans, and discussed strategies for expanding the infrastructure and tools for conducting studies in these types of models.
