Don’t miss an incredible opportunity to meet top-class scientists and witness them expand their ideas on recent advances made in the field of probiotics, highlighting their current and future roles in maintaining health and preventing diseases. This year’s conference will be held from 17-20 June in Prague Congress Centre, Czech Republic.
We are happy to announce that Dr McCartney became a member of the Scientific Committee of the IPC in 2018! The main purpose of the committee is to improve the program of IPC and to select the winners for the Young Scientist Award and Best Presenter at the event.

By attending IPC 2019, you will meet carefully selected, top-class scientists who have influenced the past and present. More importantly, you will be introduced to emerging young scientists who will shape the future of probiotics. Facilitating global co-operation between scientists and institutions is also another benefit that the event provides its attendees.
This year, there is a separate session planned for presenting papers on the research, development and use of probiotics and prebiotics in animals. In addition, another has been planned on Scientific Symposium on Bacteriocins and Antimicrobial Peptides – BAMP2019.
