Gut Microbiota as a Lever to Improve Human Health
Wednesday, December 9, 2020
Zoom Webinar Recording

We have invited senior research scientist of Microbiology and Immunology, Dr. Erica Sonnenburg, MD, PhD, to provide you with an overview of the past decade of research demonstrating the profound link between the human gut microbiota and aspects of human physiology including metabolism, immune
function, and central nervous system function.

At the conclusion of this class, you will be able to:
- Teach participants about the numerous vital connections between our gut microbiota and human health, including specific examples related to metabolism, immunity, and neurobiology.
- Illustrate the numerous factors that can alter the microbiota in everyday life, including the many insults of the modern world (e.g., antibiotics, low-fiber diet) that directly impact microbiota composition and function.
- Provide practical advice for how individuals can change their diet and lifestyle to nurture and health-promoting microbiota.
