Event date: 29th January 2021

KTN Microbiome Strategic Roadmap is now live. The roadmap reviews the landscape of microbiome science and innovation within the UK. The main objective of this document is to raise the visibility of the UK’s world leading microbiome science and enable translation of this science to benefit academic institutions, start-ups, SMEs and larger established companies.
