We welcome you to attend the 2nd Rhode Island Microbiome Symposium to be held January 14, 2022 at Avedisian Hall at the University of Rhode Island. This symposium is to bring together Rhode Island and other researchers who conduct or are interested in conducting microbiome research. The symposium will include keynote speakers Dr. Alvaro Sanchez (Yale) and Dr. Sue Ishaq (University of Maine), formal talks from regional researchers, lightning talks for students and postdocs, and a poster session.
The goal of this symposium is to promote microbiome and microbial research in Rhode Island and the Northeast by bringing together researchers from state universities and hospitals who currently work on microbiome research or who are interested in starting microbiome research. We hope this symposium will stimulate networking and result in new collaborations, grant proposals and manuscripts. While the scope is broad to encourage participation, the general focus will be on microbiome research relevant to the State of Rhode Island such as ocean health, aquaculture and precision medicine initiatives.
