Symposium Scope

The #TMHM Symposium aims to catalyze discussions on the latest conceptual frameworks and technological approaches for studying marine host-microbe symbioses, with a particular emphasis on the effect of climate change
on these foundational ecosystems.

Central themes will include fostering interdisciplinary collaboration
and encouraging open data sharing to expedite scientific progress.
The symposium will also spotlight the pressing need for microbiome stewardship and the implementation of actionable strategies to preserve biodiversity.

Invited Speakers

The invited speakers include leading experts in marine host-microbe symbioses, as well as distinguished researchers from diverse fields of host-microbe interactions.

By bringing together specialists from various disciplines, we aim to highlight the importance of transversal and shared approaches to studying symbioses. This interdisciplinary exchange will inspire innovative strategies for addressing the challenges facing both marine ecosystems
and host-microbe relationships across biological systems.
