The International Association of Breath Research (IABR), established in 2005, organizes a biennial series of international conferences on breath research. The conference is attended by multidisciplinary groups of attendees from academics, basic sciences, medicine, industrial companies and laboratories. The overarching goal is to provide an opportunity for researchers to meet and discuss important topics associated with breath chemical analysis, sensor instrumentation and biomarker detection and identification strategies. This symposium gives an opportunity to hear the latest breakthroughs and emerging topics, network with existing collaborators, and establish new ties with peers from around the globe.

During the meeting scientific insights will be discussed regarding:

• Breath analysis in relation to disease diagnosis, health assessment and medical monitoring
• Phenotyping patients via comprehensive breath analysis, metabolomics and profiling approaches
• Endogenous formation of volatile metabolites via studying cellular and bacterial in vitro systems
• Quality assurance and control relevant to every aspect of breath research from the initial study design, sampling and analysis to data processing and statistical interpretation
• Latest developments in mass-spectrometry-based instrumentations as well as sensor technologies and their applications

There will be ample opportunities for:

• Identifying collaborators and teaming up for research proposals
• Interacting with industry
• Young investigators to present their results and interact with senior researchers
• Identifying new research questions to incorporate in your breath research portfolio
