The human microbiome is everywhere. A trending topic in the news, health and wellness social media, and in your doctor’s office, not only is everyone talking about it, but it is also inside all of us.
In this episode, date 30 November 2023, we talked with Professor Luca Cocolin and Researcher Marta Oliveres, who have spent their professional lives studying how microbiota affects our bodies. As the lead course educators for our online course, The Human Microbiome, they were able to lead an interesting and sometimes funny discussion about the 10 to 100 trillion symbiotic microbial cells that reside in each of us. Watch the clip below to learn how this community of bacteria, viruses, and fungi play a crucial role in human physiology, health, and disease.
