NIH Websites Are Changing

Beginning in late July, NIH will start introducing a new website experience designed to make it easier to find health information, research, funding opportunities, and other resources. During the transition, you may notice changes to navigation, page layouts, and where some information is located. Learn more in our Frequently Asked Questions.

Investigating the Ocular Surface Microbiome: Best Practices for Low-Biomass Microbial Research

August 2, 2021

3:00 PM to 8:00 PM ET



This online scientific symposium’s goal is to facilitate discussion of technical issues associated with studying the microbiome in a low biomass niche, specifically the ocular surface.

The symposium will comprise 4 sessions with 3-4 presentations per session. Sessions will address specimen collection and processing, methods for characterizing the ocular surface microbiome, and best practices for generating reproducible data. Discussions will follow each session.

Registration is free and attendees are welcome to participate in the panel discussions.
