Cambridge Healthtech Institute's 23rd International Molecular-Med Tri-Con presents a short course on the Microbiome.
DrBonnie360 brings together two rising stars of the Sonnenburg Lab and the Knight Lab, and four microbiome companies, Second Genome, Osel Inc, AOBiome, and WholeBiome, to discuss the importance of the microbiome and how we can harness its power.
The course took place Sunday, March 6, 2016 in San Francisco.
