In October of 2019, researchers and community members from around the world met at the NIH for the fifth annual International Workshop on Microbiome in HIV. New research was presented on the role of the microbiome on chronic inflammation and vaccine design, interactions of genetics, environment, sexual practice and HIV infection with the microbiome and the development and clinical trials of microbiome-based therapeutic approaches intended to decrease the probability of HIV acquisition/transmission or ameliorate sequelae of HIV. The keynote address by Dr. Jacques Ravel focused on his work on the vaginal microbiome and efforts to improve the analysis and resolution of microbiome data.
2019 年 10 月，来自世界各地的研究人员和社区成员在 NIH 举行了第五届国际 HIV 微生物组研讨会上。会上展示了关于微生物组在慢性炎症和疫苗设计中的作用、遗传、环境、性实践和 HIV 感染与微生物组的相互作用、以及基于微生物组的治疗方法的开发和临床试验的新研究，这些方法旨在降低 HIV 感染/传播的可能性或改善 HIV 感染的后遗症。雅克·拉威尔博士的主题演讲重点介绍了他在阴道微生物组方面的工作以及改进微生物组数据分析和解决方法的努力。
