The microbiome research community at UW–Madison is rich and diverse, yet scattered across many departments and schools. To bring this community together, the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery is hosting UW Microbiome Symposium.
We invite researchers from across campus to join us on May 26, 2026, at the Discovery Building (DeLuca Forum) for a day showcasing gut-brain axis research from our colleagues.
This year’s theme is the gut–brain axis, with special emphasis on research enabled by the shared gnotobiotic facility on campus
