The Center for Mucosal & Microbiome Biology hosted its Inaugural Symposium on Host-Microbiome Interactions, on November 3, 2022 at the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute Auditorium.
Researchers and healthcare professionals alike gathered for a day-long program packed with talks featuring the latest discoveries in the field of microbiome research and touched on exciting topics, such as the oral-gut-brain axis. The Symposium hosted speakers from nationally recognized institutions, such as Dartmouth College and the National Institutes of Health, to present their cutting-edge research to the San Antonino Basic Science community. The inaugural event was well-attended, boasting nearly 100 researchers from UTHSA, UTSA & TBRI.
