On 22–23 October 2024 we hosted the Aging and Microbiome Conference 2024 (AMC2024) at FLI — the second instalment in our Aging and Microbiome series, building on JMM23.
Chaired by Clara Correia-Melo and Dario Valenzano, co-organised by Melike Dönertaş and Katarzyna Winek. Around 90 national and international participants joined for 1.5 days of interdisciplinary exchange — from model organisms to mechanism to clinical applications.
The programme featured invited talks from Meng Wang, Filipe Cabreiro, Kai Blin, Maria Ermolaeva, and Maria Vehreschild — alongside 12 oral presentations selected from submitted abstracts. A poster session and a conference dinner kept the conversations going past the talks.
