The Gut Microbiome 101 Webinar

Webinar: The Gut Microbiome 101

This event has concluded, the full recording of the webinar will be available shortly.

The gut microbiome is one of the most active and exciting areas of modern biomedical research. New insights are emerging in how the gut microbes impact health and disease. At the same time, the public conversation about the microbiome has become crowded with marketing claims, fad diets, supplements, and social media advice. Grocery store shelves are lined with products promising better gut health through prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, and countless other supplements. Companies offer microbiome testing, while Influencers promote an ever-growing list of diets, from paleo and keto to raw vegan and elemental nutrition.
How much of this is grounded in solid science? How much is marketing, wishful thinking, or outright snake oil? What do we actually know about the gut microbiome today? Which recommendations are supported by evidence, and which should be viewed with healthy skepticism? And where is this evolving field likely to take us in the coming years?
In this seminar series, we will separate fact from fiction. We will explain what the gut microbiome is, how scientists came to appreciate its importance, and what rigorous research has taught us so far. We’ll discuss where the evidence is strong, where it remains uncertain, and how new discoveries are being translated into therapies that may transform the treatment of disease.

Keynote Speaker: Alexander Khoruts, MD

Dr. Khoruts is a physician-scientist. He has begun his research career as a cellular immunologist but shifted his focus in 2000s to development of microbial therapeutics targeting the gut microbiome. His group was the first to demonstrate engraftment of gut microbes from donor stool into a patient suffering with recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections. His group developed the first standardized product of fecal microbiota for transplantation and established the first volunteer stool donor program in the world. His clinical practice is focused on treating patients with complex C. difficile infections.
