A sunny and warm Paris was the perfect set for the Human Microbiome Action consortium meeting 2023. The event, that was held from the 30th of May to the 1st of June, was hosted by our partner INRAE. During the meeting, we analyzed in detail the work that every partner has done in the past two years and laid the foundation for the final conference (in winter 2024).

During these three days of work, we reviewed various aspects of the projects such as ethics’ implications, data management, microbiome analysis methods, personalized clinical applications, and personalized clinical metadata. The participants were highly involved, and every presentation was enriched by comments and suggestions from the audience. The overall result is a clear and well-defined plan for the last year of work before the end of the project.

In the coming months, several workshops will be held, and documents published so…stay tuned!
