The coordination of the DFG priority program SPP 1656 will be managed in the coordination office at the Technical University of Munich guided by a management structure. The steering committee will be composed of two program coordinators and four scientific section coordinators. We also invited senior scientists together with international well-reputated peers into the advisory board. The latter peers were selected for their expertise in basic and clinical aspects of microbe-host interactions as well as metagenomic sequencing of the intestinal microbiota. The management structure aims at combining junior and senior faculty to cover a broad spectrum of experience and expertise. The steering committee together with advisory board will meet once a year at the annual retreat and will give feed-back to the steering committee.
