Conference Overview
Sidra Medicine is proud to host the second edition of its MENA Microbiome Conference.
Building upon the great success of our inaugural conference and the accelerating global interest in microbiome science, we are honored to invite you to attend MENA Microbiome 2026.
Hosted by Sidra Medicine in Doha, Qatar from 18-19 April 2026, this premier event will convene the world’s leading microbiome experts to translate groundbreaking research into clinical solutions for the MENA region and beyond.
The second edition of MENA Microbiome will focus on four major tracks:
- Microbiome in women’s health.
- The foundational role of microbiome in the first 1000 days of life.
- Cutting-edge gut-organs axis discoveries.

The human microbiome research network is growing in the MENA region. Therefore, this event aims to bring together leading microbiome experts, researchers, and stakeholders from around the world to present their latest findings, foster collaboration and knowledge exchange while offering insights into the specific challenges and opportunities presented by the local environment. By providing a platform for interdisciplinary discussions, we aim to accelerate advancements in understanding the role of microbiome in human health and disease and develop strategies tailored to the unique genetic and environmental factors prevalent in the MENA population.
