Gut microbiota, Probiotic bacteria and their role on human health and disease is a booming area of research presenting a new paradigm full of opportunities.

The 1st Symposium Microbes for Health (MFH) took place in November 2010 and was considered a great success by all participants.

To promote and support this fast moving field of knowledge, we are pleased to invite you to join the second edition of the Symposium "Microbes for Health" organized jointly by Danone Research, Institut Pasteur and INRA.

MFH-2 will take place on December 1st and 2nd, 2011 at Institut Pasteur in Paris.

Thanks to an ambitious program delivered by recognised experts in the field, the MFH-2 symposium will provide a great opportunity to share and discuss new findings on the microbial communities that reside in our gut and how they impact human health.

The Symposium will gather international scientists from multiple scientific horizons such as Microbiology, Immunology and Medical faculties. It will be of particular interest to researchers with both fundamental and translational approaches.

Looking forward to meeting you in beautiful Paris,

The Organising Committee
