From health and disease to unravelling the Microbiome of extreme environments, this special campaign by Media Planet highlights cutting-edge and promising microbiome research and technical expertise across Canada.

Notably featured is the International Microbiome Centre (IMC), based out of the University of Calgary and led by our IMPACTT Director Dr. Kathy McCoy. The IMC is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to deciphering host-microbe interactions. Read more here.
Also featured is the Canadian Microbiome Research Initiatives, the inception of our pan-Canadian microbiome research core, and the CMI2 microbiome initiatives that aim to move Canadian microbiome research from causation to translation to improve human health and wellbeing.
What a great way to celebrate our microbiomes for #WorldMicrobiomeDay2021!
