ISAPP Newsletter – December 2022

As we come to the end of 2022 and ISAPP’s 20th year, we offer a summary of an interactive ISAPP session that looked at the past, present and future of the biotics field.

Dr. Gabriel Vinderola, ISAPP board member and co-author of the scientific consensus definition on postbiotics, shares a summary of a recent debate on postbiotics and take-homes about what to do next with the definition. Also see ISAPP's newest published paper on postbiotics and how they can be used by generally healthy individuals.

We announce the winner of the ISAPP 2023 Glenn Gibson Early Career Researcher Prize: Paul Gill, PhD, a research fellow at University College London, UK.

From our podcast archive, listen to Prof. Dan Merenstein talk about how clinicians can evaluate and apply evidence for probiotic interventions.
