Welcome

Arrowhead Publishers is pleased to announce the return of the 7th Annual Translational Microbiome Conference – live and in-person, on April 26-27, 2021 in Washington DC. The Translational Microbiome Conference was the first microbiome conference in the field to focus exclusively on the hurdles and challenges to commercial success in the space and continues to expand on that mission yearly, bringing well considered and curated content to a diverse audience at an affordable price.

 

It goes without saying that 2020 has been a remarkable challenge for us all – both personal and professional – and we are eager to see these challenging times in our rear view. While Arrowhead was able to quickly pivot and bring useful and insightful content to its online audience in 2020, we look forward to seeing everyone in-person again in a new year and a new venue in Washington, DC.

 

About the Conference

Once again, the conference will bring together the leading microbiome companies working to successfully commercialize microbiome-based diagnostics, therapeutics, adjunct therapies and direct-to-consumer services and products across a range of therapeutic areas, from gut to skin and beyond. Expanding on this core focus year on year, we continue to offer panels sponsored and directed by industry to focus on your concerns and tightly curated content that goes beyond the usual infomercials to provide tangible and useful insights to how your peers are addressing their commercial approach to the space.

 

Entering its 7th year in 2021, the meeting will continue to focus and build on the challenges and hurdles that companies working in the microbiome space will have to recognize and navigate in order to successfully commercialize their products. With a broad focus spanning multiple disease states (oncology, dermatology, inflammatory disorders, among others) attendees will have the opportunity to hear the leading companies discuss the work they have underway and how they are meeting these challenges head-on to apply recent discoveries to a variety of disease processes, restoration of health and improved outcomes.
