Hill's Pet Nutrition has announced that its free online symposium will this year focus on the relationship between the gut microbiome and other organs of the body. 

This year's event, titled “Nourish the Gut, Nurture the Future,” will have talks from over 17 experts, including:

• Dr. Rob Knight (pictured), director of the Center for Microbiome Innovation at the University of California San Diego, who will discuss the potential for the gut microbiome to help modify disease and maintain health in cats and dog
• Dr. Curtis Huttenhower with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, who will explore the future of health through the One Health Microbiome Resource
• Dr. Jessica Quimby, DACVIM (SAIM), with The Ohio State University, who will discuss the therapeutic approach to balancing waste products through the gut-kidney axis
• Dr. Natalie Marks, CVJ, CCFP, Elite FFCP-V, with Marks DVM Consulting, who will address the microbiome’s role in managing chronic stress in cats

Dr. Karen Shenoy, US Chief Veterinary Officer at Hill’s Pet Nutrition said: “The microbiome is a trending focus in human health, and Hill’s Pet Nutrition is proud to assemble leading minds to bring this emerging topic into deeper focus for the veterinary community.

“We’re bringing this powerful content to an even broader audience this year through livestreams in both Spanish and English. I’ll be hosting the English stream, and I’m excited about our plans for guest appearances from the speakers and sharing extra tidbits to make the virtual experience as engaging as it is informative.”
