I\u2019m particularly excited about presentations on extracellular vesicles as a next frontier in host\u2013microbe communication, the growing focus on microbes and healthspan as we shift toward longevity-centered healthcare, and the transformative promise and limitations of AI in research and production. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body-skinny\">\u201cThese areas are poised to redefine how we understand and harness the microbiome, and I\u2019m especially looking forward to the insights and debate these presentations will generate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body-skinny\">Speakers on day one will include Filipe Cabreiro, professor at Imperial College London, who will reveal hidden opportunities for prolongation of lifespan via the microbiome, and Christian Roghi, co-founder of the strategic thinktank Microbiome Futures, who will explain how probiotics could help maintain human health during spaceflight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body-skinny\">Gw\u00e9na\u00ebl Jan, senior research scientist at the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE), will unveil how a specific probiotic bacterium could prevent the onset of food allergy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body-skinny\">Additionally, attendees will hear talks related to the oral microbiome, bacterial extracellular vesicles as innovative postbiotics, and the impact of UPFs on the gut microbiome.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body-skinny\">Dr. Aniek Even, Principal Scientist at OnePlanet Research Center, in the Nertherlands, will introduce an ingestible sensor innovation able to measure in vivo gut redox balance, pH, and temperature, and a sensor-based sampling pill for microbiome profiling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body-skinny\">Day two will bring a focus on microbes and immune modulation. Martin Haranta, CEO at Slovakian microbiome research and innovation firm Perbiotix, will discuss how his team is combining personalized, targeted modulation with multi-omics analysis and artificial intelligence to optimize gut microbiota functionality, not just composition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body-skinny\">Further topics of discussion will include gut-organ axes and psychobiotics, legislation and science transparency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body-skinny\">The winners of this year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nutraingredients.com\/Article\/2026\/05\/06\/microbiome-explorer-challenge-returns-seeking-europes-next-microbiome-start-up-stars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nutraingredients.com\/Article\/2026\/05\/06\/microbiome-explorer-challenge-returns-seeking-europes-next-microbiome-start-up-stars\/\">Microbiome Explorer Challenge<\/a> will also take to the stage. Our five finalists will be awarded \u20ac25,000 in expert consultations (business + research) and a \u20ac5,000 cash prize as well as being invited to present their companies on stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body-skinny\">Day three\u2019s speakers will delve into the latest tech, AI advancements, and personalization strategies for deepening scientific discoveries and advancing innovations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body-skinny\">The afternoon\u2019s presentations will go beyond the gut, starting with Dr Chris Callewaert, affiliated senior researcher at Ghent University, Belgium, aka Dr. Armpit, who is a pioneer in skin microbiome transplantation and skin bacteriotherapy for the treatment of body odor. Irina Spacova, assistant professor at the University of Antwerp, Belgium, will deliver evidence of oral-to-nasal migration and the benefits of oral probiotic chewables in allergic rhinitis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body-skinny\">The agenda will round-off with a series of sessions focused on the latest science and innovations in animal health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body-skinny\">Visit the IPC website to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.probiotic-conference.net\/live\/en\/page\/agenda-day-1-detailed-programme?utm_source=nie&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=ipc26&amp;utm_content=preview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.probiotic-conference.net\/live\/en\/page\/agenda-day-1-detailed-programme?utm_source=nie&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=ipc26&amp;utm_content=preview\">check out the full agenda<\/a> and to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.probiotic-conference.net\/live\/en\/page\/attend?utm_source=nie&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=ipc26&amp;utm_content=preview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.probiotic-conference.net\/live\/en\/page\/attend?utm_source=nie&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=ipc26&amp;utm_content=preview\">book tickets<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Delivered for the first time under the organization of NutraIngredients, the 19th International Scientific Conference on Probiotics, Prebiotics,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":879961,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[37],"tags":[210,259554,1182,101202,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-879960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nutrition","tag-health","tag-leaky-gut","tag-nutrition","tag-prebiotics","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116781071151370575","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/879960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=879960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/879960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/879961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=879960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=879960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=879960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
