Dear Colleagues,
 
We have the pleasure to invite you to the symposium "The Microbiota and Immunity in Human Diseases" which will take place in Rome, Itlay, on May 3-4, 2013.

In this meeting the latest information regarding the complex composition of the intestinal microbiota in health and disease and novel findings of immunoregulatory pathways which protect the intestinal epithelium or lead to immune-mediated intestinal inflammation is provided in state of the art lectures. In addition, therapeutic strategies which may have implications for the therapy of diseases including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and cystic fibrosis will be presented. It is the cross-talk between different diseases which we feel particularly to be important.
 
Symposium fees have been minimalized to allow young researchers to attend.
 
Please see www.mihd-obg2013.it for further details and the programme.
 
Cordially,
 
Gerd Döring
