conference
Inside and outside our bodies lives a vast diversity of microorganisms, collectively called the microbiome. It includes bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes. They all play an important role in digestion, immune system development, and overall health. In recent years, the gut microbiome, in particular, has been linked to numerous diseases, from diabetes and autism to cancer and neurodegeneration. In his presentation, Professor Paul Wilmes provides an overview of the human microbiome and its role, as well as how it is studied at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine at the University of Luxembourg. He explains the influence the microbiome can have on health and disease and presents examples from current research studies, such as how childbirth type influences microbiome development in infants, how the interaction between microbes and diet can influence the development of colon cancer and Parkinson's disease. He explains what the microbiome can reveal about the early stages of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease and how we can influence the microbiome to stay healthy.
