The One You Feed: Identifying Specific Interactions of Dietary Fiber Structures and the Microbiota That Ferment Them
March 24, 2021
Virtual, Webinar
The gut microbiome is known to respond rapidly to dietary changes, but the idiosyncrasy and dynamics of individuals’ gut microbiota make predictive understanding of the impact of diet on the structure and function of gut microbiota elusive. Dietary fibers are increasingly appreciated for their role in preserving microbiome – and gut – health and this presentation will review recent research in the area.
Quantitative Microbiome Profiling and Identification of a Cross-Disease Enterotype Linked to Depression and Wellbeing
March 3, 2021
Virtual, Webinar
This webinar will address how Quantitative Microbiome Profiling is profoundly changing our view on gut microbiota variation and has allowed the identification of an inflammation-associated, cross-disease enterotype.
