The MBTL 2027 faculty is assembled by the Organising Committee with the Advisory Board, and is built to cover the full lifespan the conference is named for, from the maternal microbiome and infant colonisation through to the microbial signatures of ageing.
Confirmed speakers are published here on a rolling basis as invitations are accepted. Follow the MBTL Community for announcements between now and the meeting.
The committee accepts speaker nominations year-round, and actively looks for voices outside the usual circuit. Tell us who you would want to hear and why.
Abstract submission opens 15 January 2027 for oral presentations, posters and case studies.
