MSL-CIFAR Microbiome Symposium
November 6, 2024 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Hosted by Dr. Brett Finlay
We invite you to join us on November 6 for a Microbiome Symposium organized by the Michael Smith Laboratories and the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. The symposium will include talks from six prominent researchers in the field of microbiology, providing cutting-edge insights into the complex world of the microbiota and its impact on human health and disease.
A Microbiome-Friendly Lunch will also be included for the first 100 attendees, sponsored by Microbiome Insights. There is no registration required, with seating and lunch first come, first served. MSL 101 will be available for overflow seating if MSL 102 reaches capacity.
We hope to see you there!
