Mind, Mood & Microbes
Where gut-brain science meets clinical practice
‘Mind, Mood & Microbes’, the world’s first conference to place the microbiota-gut-brain axis front and centre. Being a founding partner, we are proud to facilitate this platform where gut-brain science meets clinical practice.
Find out where the field is at now and what focus areas we are researching to face the next challenges in the gut-brain area.
Bridging the gap between research and treatment
The event brings together not only key experts from top universities and research institutes, but also healthcare professionals and industry partners from diverse and complementary fields of expertise. The natural cross-pollination that occurs is one of the most important reasons this international conference is of tremendous value to a field that is still relatively unexplored. Exchanging different areas of expertise in the gut-brain field, enables us to bridge the gap between research insights and applications for treatment in humans.

From science to evidence-based solutions
As experts in the field of probiotics, we believe it is important that knowledge of topics such as the gut-brain axis, the microbiota, and bacteria’s effect on health are shared. It is obvious that Mind, Mood & Microbes is of great contribution to the increased interest worldwide in probiotics as an evidence-based application to support brain health.
It started in 2016
In early December 2016, more than 250 healthcare professionals and researchers from around the world gathered in Amsterdam for ‘Mind, Mood and Microbes’, the first international congress with a 100% focus on the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Because of the fascinating aspects of this subject, Mind, Mood & Microbes attracts a variety of experienced, talented and young professionals from the field of gastro-enterology, psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, immunology, microbiology and probiotics from all around the globe. Now it has grown to be a prestigious event. Therefore Winclove Probiotics as the founding partner is proud to facilitate the 4th Mind, Mood & Microbes conference already.
As a precursor to the 4th conference Mind, Mood & Microbes even provided a pre-conference webinar on February 16th 2023 with an overview of current research approaches and advances in the field, with perspectives from eight leading scientific experts.

Focus areas
One of Winclove Probiotics focus areas is understanding the mechanisms of gut-brain communication in the human body. Joining forces helps us to advance the crucial conversion of research results into evidence-based solutions. That’s why Winclove is always looking for partnerships, especially where depression, cognition and autism are concerned.
