The human microbiome is closely linked to multiple aspects of human physiology. Accurate control of the microbiome holds great promise for understanding disease causes and developing new treatments and diagnostic methods. Although microbiome research is still at an early stage, engineering efforts are emerging to support new studies and quickly translate findings into microbiome-based interventions.
The human microbiome has been inextricably linked to multiple facets of human physiology. From an engineering standpoint, the ability to precisely control the composition and activity of the microbiome holds great promise for furthering our understanding of disease etiology and for new avenues of therapeutic and diagnostic agents. While the field of microbiome research is still in its infancy, growing engineering efforts are emerging to enable new studies in the microbiome and to rapidly translate these findings to microbiome-based interventions. At the 3rd International Conference on Microbiome Engineering, leading experts in the field presented state-of-the-art work in microbiome engineering, discussing probiotics, prebiotics, engineered microbes, microbially derived biomolecules, and bacteriophage.
