HOW MICROBES SHAPED THE HUMAN, ANIMAL AND PLANT ADAPTATION AND EVOLUTION.

This is not just another scientific meeting. It’s a deep dive into the invisible world that made us who we are.

The conference starts with an exceptional keynote by Renaud Piarroux — pediatrician, infectious‑disease specialist (notably cholera), biologist, and author of the acclaimed “Sapiens and Microbes” (CNRS Editions, 2025/2026).  The opening presentation will usher the audience into a fascinating journey into the ways microbial forces have shaped human evolution, ecosystems, and global health — followed by three compelling presentations that further reveal their profound impact on: 

  • how microbes have driven major evolutionary transitions,
  • how they shape our health and the health of animals today,
  • and how understanding them can change tomorrow’s medicine.
