For invited participants only.

 

The meeting will examine computational approaches to longitudinal human microbiome studies in connection to the Young CAS Fellow project of Veronika K. Pettersen.

AIMS: the meeting will seed potential research proposals and publications (a microbiome study protocol, a review).
