Translating microbiome innovation: Personal health and food production
Event Details
The science is moving fast, the pathways to market are not.
The microbiome is reshaping the way we think about health, food and productivity — from skin and gut health to stronger crops and healthier livestock. But microbiome guided solutions, still face major hurdles, stalling deployment to the people, animals and places they are needed the most.
This one-day workshop brings together leaders from across the microbiome innovation ecosystem to tackle the practical barriers slowing translation and to define clearer, faster routes to market
Why attend?
Innovation without implementation won’t provide the solutions. This is where science, regulation, and commercialisation align, providing routes to real-world impact.
What the day will cover
- Healthy microbiomes for personal health
Not just your guts. Why a healthy microbiome is also essential for skin and vaginal health and how new innovations can help.
- Regulatory route to market
Navigating the complex regulatory networks for new products targeting the microbiome.
- One Health: Livestock and food production
How microbiome interventions in livestock farming can improve both animal welfare and reduce AMR.
- One Health: Biostimulants and crop protection
Developments in the soil and plant microbiome can lead to products that reduce our reliance on chemical pesticides and fertilisers.
- Scaling and manufacturing
Real world examples overcoming the challenges of manufacturing, bringing live microbial products to the market.
This workshop is proudly delivered as part of the Microbiome: Acceleration and Innovation Development (MAID) Hub, hosted by the Microbiome Innovation Centre at the University of Liverpool. The MAID Hub is dedicated to bridging the gap between research and real-world application, leveraging data-driven insights to accelerate the development of microbiome-based products.
The microbiome is reshaping the way we think about health, food and productivity. This strategic innovation workshop brings together leaders from academia, regulatory experts, product developers and manufacturers to explore integrated solutions under the One Health framework.
The workshop will focus on microbiome applications in personal health and food production. We aim to foster the cross-sector collaboration necessary to address challenges in the demonstration, scalable manufacturing, and commercialisation of these technologies.
