On April 16th, the Hartmann lab group took a day trip down to the University of Chicago for the 2019 Microbiome Symposium.
We listened to some lovely talks from researchers in various fields, but all of the talks highlighted emerging methods in microbiome research. The day served as a great opportunity to network with scientists from around the Chicagoland area. Three of our members (Ryan Blaustein, Alex McFarland, and Jiaxian Shen) used the symposium as an opportunity to share their research in poster form.
