Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to the Second edition of the International Conference World of Microbiome: Pregnancy, Birth & Infancy (WoMPBI 2020), set to take place as a Virtual Conference.

Changing microbiota in pregnancy has profound effects on fetal, neonatal and infant health & development, as well as on maternal health. Be a part of new breakthroughs which will better predict and treat diseases in fetuses and infants. Join international colleagues at the first Conference that brings together professionals across microbiology, immunology, ob-gyn, neonatology, pediatrics and industry, to push forward this emerging area in microbiome.

This event is a unique meeting that brings together experts to advance scientific knowledge about microbiome in pregnancy and neonatal, interpret recent research and analyze real-world case-studies. The inaugural conference aims to promote collaboration between researchers, clinicians and industry and help them overcome barriers that limit access to prevention, care and services. Whether you are a scientist, clinical researcher, part of a start-up or an established industry company, WoMPBI 2020 is your opportunity to network and discuss the latest findings and their potential impact with the pioneers.

The WoMPBI 2020 will be co-located with the World of Microbiome: Digestive & Metabolic Health 2020 Conference. To find out more about the World of Micobiome Series, please follow this link: microbiome.kenes.com
