NCCIH Lecture Series Will Explore Gut Microbiome

NCCIH Lecture Series Will Explore Gut Microbiome  March 05, 2019 NCCIH Blog Team The human microbiome is the community of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi that naturally live in and on our bodies. We at NCCIH are very excited to host three internationally renowned experts in spring 2019 who will lecture on the theme “Microbes in Our Gut: Emerging Insights on Health and Disease.” The lectures are part of NCCIH’s Integrative Medicine Research Lecture Series. All three events take place in Lipsett Amphitheater (Building 10) on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) campus in Bethesda, Maryland, and will be streamed live and archived on NIH Videocast and Facebook Live. All are welcome to attend, and no registration is needed. The series focuses on specific components of the gut microbiome, and natural products of interest produced by these organisms that might confer health benefits. Natural products and their potential effects on health promotion and various clinical conditions are a priority research area for us, and we’re intrigued to see the research continue to grow and expand. Gut health, what affects it, and its potential connections with wellness and illness in other parts of the body are also of high public interest. Read the full post and comment
