Don’t miss Global Engage’s Microbiome / Microbiota R&D and Business Collaboration Forum this April 28th and 29th in London. It will explore the impact the microbiome has on our understanding of a whole host of medical conditions. From arthritis to cancer, diabetes to obesity and organ development to metal health Microbiome research is finding all kinds of connections and influences. These influences include not just the onset of disease, but also prevention, cure and the interplay between these beneficial microbes and drugs & other therapies.

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
