10 International Scientific Association of Probiotics & Prebiotics Mission to advance scientific excellence in probiotics and prebiotics Through stewardship, science and education Provides an objective science-based voice Promote communication of evidence-based recommendations on the use of probiotics and prebiotics ISAPP is a non-profit association of academic and industrial scientists, supported by industry members 10

11 ISAPP Structure No individual members Governed by board of directors (academics/clinicians) Industry Advisory Committee Companies conducting research and responsible marketing of probiotics and prebiotics Pay dues to support ISAPP activities Students and Fellows Association Science Translation Committee Videos, infographics, blogs, monthly newsletter, social media 11
