The Tri-Service Microbiome Consortium (TSMC) was founded to enhance collaboration, coordination, and communication of microbiome research among DoD organizations and to facilitate resource, material and information sharing among consortium members, which includes collaborators in academia and industry. The 2023 annual symposium was a hybrid meeting held in Washington DC on 26-27 September 2023 concurrent with the virtual attendance, with oral and poster presentations and discussions centered on microbiome-related topics within five broad thematic areas: 1) Environmental Microbiome Characterization; 2) Microbiome Analysis; 3) Human Microbiome Characterization; 4) Microbiome Engineering; and 5) In Vitro and In Vivo Microbiome Models. Collectively, the symposium provided an update on the scope of current DoD and DoD-affiliated microbiome research efforts and fostered collaborative opportunities. This report summarizes the presentations and outcomes of the 7th annual TSMC symposium.
三军微生物组联盟(TSMC)的成立旨在加强国防部各组织之间微生物组研究的合作、协调与沟通,并促进联盟成员之间的资源、材料和信息共享,联盟成员包括学术界和工业界的合作者。2023年年度研讨会是一次混合会议,于2023年9月26日至27日在华盛顿特区举行,同时进行线上参会,口头报告和海报展示及讨论围绕五个广泛主题领域内与微生物组相关的主题展开:1)环境微生物组特征分析;2)微生物组分析;3)人类微生物组特征分析;4)微生物组工程;5)体外和体内微生物组模型。总体而言,该研讨会提供了当前国防部及与国防部相关的微生物组研究工作范围的最新情况,并促进了合作机会。本报告总结了第七届TSMC年度研讨会的报告内容和成果。
