Why Attend
Animal Microbiome Congress will provide the latest clinical data and key content on the commercialisation of animal microbiome research. The global market is forecasted to grow to $9,775 million by 2028 due to demand for innovation from the rapidly growing meat and pet-healthcare industries.
Current research strongly indicates that animal microbiome modulation could greatly improve pet health and increase the meat industry’s productivity, while ensuring that it meets its sustainability targets. Consequently, significant profits can be created by overcoming the obstacles in reproducing animal microbiome research in industry and quicker returns can be obtained by translating the more advanced human microbiome technology to modulate the animal microbiome. However, these commercial rewards can only be realised by steering through tough legal and regulatory obstacles smartly.
Our goal is to support smart interactions between business and academia to enable participants to capitalize on the growing global animal microbiome market.

Mark Pallen
Mark Pallen is a Research Leader at the Quadram Institute and Professor of Microbial Genomics at UEA. His research interests span microbial genomics, metagenomics and bioinformatics, including the chicken gut microbiome.

Professor Curtis Huttenhower
Talk to me about… your research
I am a Professor in Biostatistics at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and an Associate Member at the Broad Institute. I participated extensively in the NIH Human Microbiome Project and co-leads the "HMP2" Center for Characterizing the gut microbial ecosystem in IBD and the Human Microbiome Bioactives Resource. My lab focuses on computational methods for functional analysis of microbial communities. This includes systems biology reconstructions integrating metagenomic, metatranscriptomic, and other microbial community 'omics, the human microbiome in autoimmune disease such as IBD, and its potential as a biomarker and route for therapeutic intervention.
Talk to me about…something people may not know about you
I'm a happy kitty parent, most recently of two new kittens who (like human babies) have as yet to learn to sleep through the night. I wish I had as much energy as they do!

Professor, Dr. Thomas Clavel
The main focus of our research is the study of intestinal microbiomes (the communities of microorganisms, their genomes, and surrounding environmental factors in the gut). Because intestinal microorganisms have a major impact on the physiology of their host, it is important to investigate and understand their diversity and functions. We focus primarily on the human, pig, and mouse gut microbiomes because of their relevance for health-related issues. In particular, we are interested in describing the taxonomic diversity and evolution of gut bacteria thanks to the use of culture-based and sequencing approaches.

Sharon Huws
Sharon's key research interests lie in understanding the role that rumen microbes play in ruminant food security. Her research is strategically focused on understanding the functionality of rumen microbes—with the aim of addressing food security and human health—coupled with industrial biotechnology related to the rumen microbiome. Sharon also has a general interest in microbiomes and occasionally focuses attention on poultry, pig, and even human lung microbiomes.
Sharon coordinates the global & Rumen Microbial Genomics; network, is a senior editor for the journal Microbiome and editor-in-chief for its sister journal & Animal Microbiome.
Dr Steven Theriault
Dr Diwakar Vyas
Brian Oakley
I am a microbial ecologist interested in tackling important problems at the interface of basic and applied research. The revolution in high-throughput DNA sequencing has conclusively demonstrated the importance of microbial communities for life on earth. Microbial ecology cuts across many fields and I have applied the tools and techniques of microbial ecology to disciplines ranging from oceanography to human and animal health. My graduate training combined classical and microbial ecology but I only considered myself a microbiologist after working in the Microbiology Department of the University of Washington, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and the University of Warwick. Four years as a research microbiologist with the USDA Agricultural Research Service gave me first-hand knowledge of the poultry industry and a chance to apply the tools and techniques of microbial ecology to veterinary microbiology. Most of the current focus of my research is on the poultry microbiome and its relationships to food safety, infectious disease, and poultry nutrition. Our standard toolkit combines field work with classical microbiology, microscopy, quantitative PCR, high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing, metagenomics, and associated bioinformatics. We are currently funded through several intramural mechanisms, extramural grants, and industry partnerships.
