The 11th Beneficial Microbes Conference provided an overview of the latest scientific results and future developments related to prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics and their importance to human and animal health across the lifespan.

Conference topics will included:

• The role of AI in beneficial microbes research
• Next generation probiotics: Research trends
• IPA expanding global leadership in the biotics space
• Beneficial microbes: Prevention and treatment of multiple diseases
• The focus on pre- and postbiotics
• Beneficial microbes for human and animal health
• Fermented foods and health
• Brain health and beneficial microbes

In addition, the International Probiotics Association (IPA) organised a dedicated session on “Expanding global leadership in the biotics space” and the silver sponsor Bialtec presented a lunch break session on “Next generation probiotics: Precision tools for microbiome engineering”.

And, in the good tradition of the Beneficial Microbes Conference series, a debate was organised. This year’s topic was “Genetically modified probiotics – to ban or not to ban?” You can relive the battle by clicking on the image below.
