International Online-Workshop on “Potential of microbiome application in the society faced with super-aging population and novel infectious diseases”

2020.09.16

The research on microbiome is indispensable for the super-aging society. Much progress has been made in this field as it joins together with other leading sciences and technologies and new businesses are being developed. Further, there are active discussions on how the research can lead to prevention and treatment of new infectious diseases such as COVID-19.

In light of this, QWS ACADEMIA will host a bi-weekly workshop “Potential of microbiome application in the society faced with super-aging population and novel infectious diseases”. The workshop is open to students, bussiness persons and anyone else interested in this field. Participants in the workshop will have opportunities to learn the trends and future of the microbiome research and its commercial application and experts’ views on how we should cope with infectious diseases such as COVID-19.

Let us together explore the secret of microbiome and think about how microbiome might help us in the midst of paradigm shift.
