Prof Ramsuran Presents His Latest Findings at the 2026 International Conference on Homeostatic Medicine in China

The 2026 International Conference on Homeostatic Medicine brought leading scientists and scholars together in Shandong, China, for two days of discussion on some of the latest advances shaping our understanding of human health and disease.

Co-hosted by the School of Medicine and Institute of Homeostatic Medicine at Southern University of Science and Technology, together with the Beijing Laboratory of Oral Health at Capital Medical University, the conference was held from 22–23 August 2026 and created an international platform for sharing emerging research and exploring the future direction of homeostatic medicine.

Among the experts invited to contribute was Professor Veron Ramsuran, who shared his research on the complex relationship between the gut microbiome, immune function and disease.

The Keynote | Shandong

Prof Ramsuran delivered a presentation titled “The Gut Microbiome as a Modulator of Immune Function and Disease Outcomes.” His talk explored how the trillions of microorganisms that make up the gut microbiome interact with the immune system, and how these interactions may influence health, disease progression and individual outcomes.

Presenting the Data | Rebound Biology

The presentation highlighted a rapidly growing area of research, understanding the body not as separate systems working independently, but as an interconnected network. The relationship between the microbiome and immunity is increasingly providing new insight into why disease develops, and why outcomes can differ between individuals.

For Prof Ramsuran, the journey to Shandong extended beyond presenting his research. It was an opportunity to bring a South African perspective to an international scientific platform, exchange knowledge with researchers from around the world, and strengthen connections for future collaboration.
