Microbiome Workshop

2:00 p.m.-4:15 p.m.
Thursday, April 30, 2020

This workshop is an opportunity to bring together faculty and students who are working in or are interested in, the broadly defined area of the microbiome. Interesting things are happening across campus in methods development, water, soil and animal research all relating to the microbiome. Learn more about what is happening in this area of study and find out where continued discussion might be beneficial.

This workshop will provide a venue to interact with local and regional leaders in the field as well as provide an opportunity to identify fields of research at K-State that intersect with this focus. Faculty in all disciplines should consider attending as many areas of study are integrated into this topic.
