Both inside and outside our body, there lives a vast variety of microorganisms, collectively referred to as the microbiome. These include bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes. They play a crucial role in digestion, the development of the immune system, and overall health. In recent years, the gut microbiome has particularly been associated with numerous diseases, from diabetes to autism, from cancer to neurodegeneration.
In his lecture, Prof. Paul Wilmes will provide an overview of the human microbiome and its role, as studied at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine of the University of Luxembourg.
He will also describe how the microbiome can influence health and various diseases. He will present examples from recent research studies, such as:
- How the way we are born influences the development of the microbiome in infants,
- What combination of microbes and diet can influence the development of colorectal cancer and Parkinson's,
- What the microbiome can tell us about the early stages of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, and
- How we can influence the microbiome through our lifestyle to live healthily
