HGF Partner Craig Thomson will be presenting at the Microbiome Movement – Maternal & Infant Health Summit 2020 on 15th October.

The 2nd Microbiome Movement – Maternal & Infant Health Summit returns as the only conference to unite large pharma, drug developers, academic KOL’s and paediatric clinicians to discuss the shared challenges of helping to configure the microbiome in the first 1000 days of life to reduce risk of chronic health conditions.
