Cover Inaugural August 19-20, 2013 Conference-at-a-Glance Short Courses/Plenary Keynote Sequencing Strategies for Success Dynamics of the Microbiome on Health and Disease Single-Cell Sequencing Sequencing Data Analysis and Interpretation Sponsor & Exhibit Opportunities NG X Dynamics of the Microbiome on Health and Disease Communities, Composition, and Computation Advances in next-generation sequencing and computation have elucidated the impact of human genomic variation; however, the impact of this variation is largely unexplored in the human microbiome. Now clinical and environmental researchers have the high-resolution tools to explore the emergent science of microbial communities and the ecosystems they inhabit. CHI’s Dynamics of the Microbiome on Health and Disease conference focuses on understanding the role of the microbiome to offer new insights into disease processes and discovery of new therapeutic strategies. Monday, August 19 8:30 am Short Course Registration and Morning Coffee database. Our results show several new potential bacterial agents that may be associated with different diseases with unknown etiologies. We are currently in the process of translating these methods to the clinic where these approaches can immediately impact human health.

For suspected bacterial agents we are using 16S rRNA gene and whole-genome shotgun surveys of diverse human samples to identify potential agents and antibiotic resistance profiles. For suspected viral agents we are sequencing randomly primed cDNA libraries and querying these data against a custom viral 7 2:40 Archaea and Fungi of the Human Gut Microbiome Christian Hoffmann, Research Scientist, Frederic D. Bushman Laboratory, Microbiology, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania We investigate associations of diet with fungal and archaeal populations in the gut microbiome, as well as interdomain relationships between bacteria, archaea and fungi in a cohort of 96 individuals. Diet relationships with microbial taxa were investigated regarding usual and recent dietary intake. 3:10 Microbial Ecosystems Therapeutics: A New Paradigm in Medicine? Emma Allen-Vercoe, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Molecular and Cellular Biology, University of Guelph It is now clearly recognized that the human gut microbial ecosystem is a critical factor in the maintenance of host health, and that disturbances in this ecosystem, leading to enduring imbalance (dysbiosis) are associated with an ever increasing number of disorders (for example, IBD, IBS, diabetes, asthma, autism). With this in mind, is it possible to harness the microbial Alumni Discount SAVE 20% Cambridge Healthtech Institute (CHI) appreciates your past participation at our events.
