This conference is organised by a group of Thai scientists who are working in the field of lactic acid bacteria and the Department of Biotechnology of the Faculty of Agro-Industry, Kasetsart University.

The objective of the conference is to provide the opportunity for researchers from academia and industry to assemble and discuss and exchange the latest research information on the roles and industrial applications of lactic acid bacteria. The event will be conducted in English and will focus on the topic “LAB for healthier longer better life”.

The scope of the conference includes, but is not limited to,
the following topics

Gut microbiota and host interaction

Application of lactic acid bacteria and related product

Molecular genetics and innovation in lactic acid bacteria

The application of Prebiotics and Probiotics for Health Benefits

Welcome Message

It is a great honour for Thailand to host the 11th ACLAB which will be held on 29^th - 31^st October 2020 at the Sukosol, Bangkok. This year’s theme, “LAB for healthier longer better life”, focuses on an important aspect of lactic acid bacteria on the health of both human and animals. Famous scientists in this area from around the globe have agreed to be present at this conference as keynote and invited speakers. We are confident that this conference will be rewarding for all participants and will, once again, provide an opportunity to promote communication among academics, researchers, and industrialists who are interested in working on lactic acid bacteria. We wish the 11^th ACLAB to be an opportunity not only for sharing ideas and experiences but also for establishing and extending friendships among scientists with common interests from all over the world.

We look forward to welcoming you all to Bangkok and the 11^th ACLAB!

It is a great pleasure to welcome all of you to join 11^th Asian Conference on Lactic Acid Bacteria: LAB for healthier longer better life at October 29^th – 31^st, 2020, Sukosol, Bangkok-Thailand. The conference would serve as a platform for researchers from academia and industry in Asia to share and exchange information about advanced research and scientific progress in themed of Lactic Acid Bacteria. The conference will allow participants to enhance their knowledge, renew friendships among LAB researchers, and extent networks with many professional and industries, also discover future research directions of LAB.

On behalf of the committee, I would like to warmly invite you to attend the conference. Your valuable participation would be beneficial to all attendees and make the program even more successful and remarkable.
