Microbiome of the Built Environment (MoBE) 2017: Research to Application

New Content Item



We invite submissions of MoBE papers highlighting recent research and emerging hot topics along the theme of “MoBE Research to Applications” . The goal of the MoBE 2017: Research to Application series is to present the latest MoBE research findings furthering our understanding of the formation and function of microbial communities in built environments, their impacts on human health, and how human occupants shape complex indoor microbiomes in relation to human exposure.



The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine are co-hosting the Microbiology of the Built Environment Research and Applications Symposium (MoBE 2017) at the National Academy of Sciences Building (2101 Connecticut Ave., N.W., Washington, DC).  MoBE 2017 will celebrate the accomplishments of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation funded MoBE program and chart the future of the MoBE research field.
