Description
The first MetaHIT international conference will encompass recent and ongoing research aiming to:
* describe the Human Microbiome, via studies of its metagenome and of genomes of bacteria that constitute it
* develop the tools enabling characterization of individual metagenomes
* organize and interpret the vast amounts of heterogeneous data, extending from genomics to human phenotypes and even the life style
* establish relationships between the composition of the human microbiome and human health and disease
Current dynamics of the most exciting research in the field and the participation of the leading international scientists, ensure that the conference will remain a landmark event for the Human Metagenome and Microbiome.
