Meeting report of the eight annual Tri-Service Microbiome Consortium Symposium
The Tri-Service Microbiome Consortium (TSMC) was created to foster and enhance cooperation, collaboration, and communication of microbiome research among Department of Defense (DoD) researchers and their collaborators. The 8th Annual TSMC Symposium was held in Colorado Springs, CO on 25-26 September 2024 and featured oral and poster presentations and discussions centered on microbiome-related topics within four broad thematic areas: 1) Surveillance; 2) Health and Performance; 3) Enablers; and 4) Remediation. Collectively this meeting promoted sharing of methods, experiments, and findings across DoD affiliated microbiome research and promoted future and ongoing collaborations. This report summarizes the proceedings of the 8th Annual TSMC Symposium.
