​Microbiome Therapeutics

​Join us for an evening exploring the cutting edge of microbiome innovation for human health and agricultural applications, brought to you by The Crick Science Entrepreneur Network.
We will begin with a keynote deep dive into the microbiome space, unpacking the latest breakthroughs, industry momentum, and what’s coming next. We’ll then turn to the startup landscape, with rapid-fire founder talks spanning the full lifecycle of company building.

​The event will begin with a keynote talk from UCL associate professor and scientific officer at BoobyBiome, Dr Mona Bajaj-Elliott. Mona will take us through the past, present and future landscapes of research in microbiome therapeutics.
