Past Events

OMiN Spring Members Meeting – May 2025

A meeting of the OMiN members took place at the Department of Biology on the afternoon of 1 May 2025.

The contents of this meeting were diverse, interesting and rich. From the island of Wales to locations in Africa, from environmental AMR to early life pectin's effect, and from wild mice to gnotobiotic mice, all converge into the domain of microbiome studies. The interactions during the refreshment session were good. The time and efforts which the speakers have spent on their talk preparations were much appreciated.

A meeting of OMiN members took place at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology on the afternoon of 14 October 2024. The meeting was opened by Jethro Johnson, Deputy Director of Oxford Centre for Microbiome Studies. We had two sessions of scientific talks, followed by an awards ceremony for the logo design competition winners. The meeting was closed by Jethro Johnson, followed by a networking opportunity.
