Our goals for this focused workshop are to discuss human microbiome research in a global health context, and to form and strengthen research ties between Cornell and international scientists to propel research at this intersection. We also aim to do this while providing a unique learning environment in which participants can learn from each other.
Topic-specific sessions will allow Cornell presenters & international participants to share their research and will include ample time for brainstorming and discussion. Participants will also learn about technological and engineering tools in microbiome research, and bioinformatics approaches for data analysis. Panel discussions will center around the challenges of international collaborations, ethical issues, and ideas to build a global microbiome consortium. Finally, the schedule weaves in opportunities to network and socialize.

Symposium
This open symposium will highlight cutting-edge global health and microbiome research being performed at Cornell and Weill Cornell Medicine, elsewhere in the U.S., and in other countries by our collaborators. The goals are to stimulate and solidify interested in this multi-disciplinary topic at Cornell, and provide an opportunity to form and strengthen research ties between Cornell and international scientists to propel research at this intersection. To register & submit a poster abstract, go HERE.
This symposium will take place in the Physical Sciences Building in room 120.
