The Asia Microbiome Conference was formerly known as the “Into the Future—Microbiome Forum” in 2016
Asia Microbiome Conference (AMC) has grown over the past eight years. In 2025, the AMC will hold its 9th edition, paving the way for the grand 10th Microbiome Carnival in 2026. The 2025 Asia Microbiome Conference is scheduled to take place on Saturday, January 11, 2025, at the Humanities and Social Science Building, Academia Sinica.
Since its inception in 2016, the AMC has become Taiwan's longest-running and most influential microbiome conference, featuring a total of 83 speakers and moderators, including prominent figures like Prof. Rob Knight from UC San Diego, Prof. Jingyuan Fu from University Medical Centre Groningen, and Prof. Jun Yu from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The conference set a record with over 500 attendees in a single day, bringing together experts from industry, academia, government, research, and healthcare to discuss a wide range of microbiome-related topics. These topics include human microbiota, multi-omics, nutrition and probiotics, environmental microbiomes, perspectives from venture capital, the latest technological applications, and a young scholars’ forum.
This year's conference will cover themes such as human microbiota, nutrition and probiotics, environmental microbiome, marine microbiome, and creativity and venture capital. To encourage students to express their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit, the conference will, for the first time, host a Microbiome Product Innovation Competition. Microbiome industry professionals and venture capital experts will judge the competition, and attractive prizes will be awarded to the winners, aiming to draw even more outstanding talents from the microbiome field.
The conference expects over 500 participants, with 14 exciting speeches and special events to kick off the 10th Microbiome Carnival. From its very beginning, the AMC has focused on advancing microbiome research in Taiwan, providing an open platform for communication between industry, government, academia, research, and healthcare. This exchange of ideas fosters innovation and attracts top talent to join in this important field.
We sincerely invite you to join us on January 11, 2025, to explore the latest trends in microbiome research with leading experts and scholars.
