Swiss Microbiome Forum

The National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Microbiomes is organising the Swiss Microbiome Forum, on 5 February 2026 at EPFL

The Forum will showcase the latest research and technologies harnessing microbiomes for human flourishing and health, along two main axes:

• Microbiomes in action – How can we mobilise microbiomes to perform certain functions, that may solve problems in healthcare, food, and the environment? 
• The data side of the microbiome – Everything we know about microbiomes is based on interpretation of data. This session will highlight methods and bioinformatics resources that help us make advances in research, diagnostics, and monitoring.

Throughout both sessions, speakers from industry, startups, and academia will present their latest innovations and participate in roundtable discussions.
