Virtual event
Quantify the impact | Microbiome
The human microbiome is home to trillions of diverse microorganisms that help keep the body healthy. Research on the microbiome brings together multiple omics, including metabolomics, to reveal how these rich ecosystems influence health and disease.
Learn in this virtual event:
– The connection between microbial metabolites and chronic diseases.
– How metabolomics is paving the way for microbiome-based therapies.
– How microbial metabolism influences microbiome ecology and host health.
– Insights into the use of metabolomics in several matrices including blood and feces.

Amino acid auxotrophies in the human gut microbiome
Amino acid auxotrophies refer to an organism’s inability to synthesize certain amino acids, making it dependent on external sources to obtain these essential nutrients. Theoretical works and studies in synthetic microbial communities suggest auxotrophies can influence microbial community dynamics and composition. The role of amino acid auxotrophies within the human gut microbiome remains less explored. In this talk, I will present a recent study that combined metabolomic, metagenomic, and metabolic modeling to assess the prevalence of bacterial auxotrophies in the human gut and their correlation with the host’s metabolome.

Gut metabolomic changes during pregnancy reveal the importance of GI region in sample collection
Studies of gastrointestinal physiology and the gut microbiome often consider the influence of intestinal region on experimental endpoints. However, this same consideration is not often applied to the gut metabolome. Understanding the contribution of gut regionality may be critically important to the rapidly changing metabolic environments, such as during pregnancy.
