Summary of Meeting:
The aggregate genomes of the trillions of microorganisms associated with the human body, the gut microbiome, extend our own human metabolism through transforming our diet and xenobiotic compounds, including host-targeted drugs and antibiotics. Furthermore, our microbial consortia encode a diverse array of biosynthetic machinery, making them an ideal source of novel natural products. This conference explores the major challenges that are emerging from this new area of study: 1) The biotransformation and resistance to therapeutics; 2) The discovery of natural products from microorganisms, in the context of the human microbiome and other systems; 3) Computational approaches to understanding microbial metabolism and biosynthesis; 4) The potential for synthetic biology to engineer microbiomes; 5) Therapeutic approaches to manipulate the microbiome; 6) Host-microbial signaling mechanisms; and 7) The consequences of microbial biotransformations and toxicity on host health and disease. This conference should foster long-lasting collaborative partnerships between individuals with wide-ranging expertise from both academia and industry. It incorporates the introduction of state-of-the-art techniques to existing areas of research, along with an attempt to identify general biological themes that influence multiple areas of research.

NIH Resources and Funding Opportunities to Support Microbiome-Related Research
The goals of the session are (1) to provide an overview of NIH programs, resources, and funding opportunities to support research on understanding how the microbiome contributes to health and disease and (2) to provide a forum for participants to meet and interact with NIH program officials through discussion.
The workshop will include an introduction and brief presentations by NIH program staff on specific programs and funding opportunities, followed by discussions where participants can interact with NIH program staff in small groups.
