12th World Congress on Targeting Microbiota: Advancing Microbiome Science in Clinical Practice
We are excited to invite you to the 12th World Congress on Targeting Microbiota, taking place on November 5–6, 2025, in Valencia, Spain.
Organized by the International Society of Microbiota (ISM), this annual event brings together leading researchers, clinicians, and industry innovators to explore the latest scientific and clinical breakthroughs in microbiota science and its growing impact on human health.
The two-day congress will examine the microbiome's influence on diverse physiological processes, including aging, cardiovascular health, neurological function, and oncological outcomes. Contemporary research has shifted from taxonomic classification to functional analysis, focusing on bioactive metabolites such as butyrate, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and serotonin precursors that exert systemic effects.
Advances in Gut-Brain-Immune Axis Research
A key session will address the gut-brain-immune axis, presenting evidence on microbial influences in cognitive aging and psychiatric disorders. Emerging data reveal bidirectional interactions between psychotropic medications and the microbiome, highlighting important clinical considerations.
Therapeutic Applications of Microbiome Modulation
The Congress will showcae innovative therapeutic strategies including:
- Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) Applications in Neurological and Ophthalmological Aging
- Short-Chain Fatty Acid Derivatives for Metabolic and Gastrointestinal Disorders
- Targeted Probiotic Interventions for Systemic Inflammation Management
- Microbiome-Guided Precision Nutrition Protocols
- Expanding Microbiome Research Beyond the Gastrointestinal Tract
- Research Presentations will encompass Non-Gut Microbiomes, including Oral, Cutaneous, and Salivary Communities, as Biomarkers for Aging, Treatment Response, and Immune Function.
Call For Innovation
You still have a time to submit your innovation for Short oral & Poster presentation and become a speaker.
We look forward to seeing you in Valencia and working together to make a difference in healthcare !
Warm regards,
Prof. Maria Cecilia Giron
President of Targeting Microbiota 2025
