Gastro-intestinal Models for the Study of Probiotics and Prebiotics
Pre-conference Satellite Symposium
The pre-conference symposium will take place as introductory event to the International Scientific Conference on Probiotics and Prebiotics – IPC2011. The selection of the subject fields has been based on the feedback of former IPC participants.

The programme of the pre-conference symposium will focus on the use of GIT models - artificial gut, animal, cell models - in the research of probiotics and prebiotics.
Highlight themes will be the use of models for screening of probiotics and prebiotics and the enhancement of the predictive value of currently used or novel gastro-intestinal models. Current advances and new achievements will be presented and discussed by internationally renowned experts from industry and academia.
Keynote lectures
Avrelija Cencič
Validated Gastro-intestinal Functional Cell Models in Risk Assessment of Putative Novel Probiotics and Protective Cultures
Koen Venema
How Dynamic In Vitro Models of the GI Tract Can Be Used to Optimize the Effect of Probiotics and Prebiotics
It is the goal of the symposium to further explore the potential of already used and novel GIT models in the selection and the mode-of-action research of probiotics and prebiotics.
Further to its scientific content the symposium is a networking event. Abstracts of oral presentations and posters will be published in the official proceedings of IPC2011.
