Unlocking metabolomics
Understanding complex chronic diseases
The microbiome-metabolism connection | Lunch and learn session
February 11, 2025 | 12:00 – 01:00 pm (CST)
University of Illinois Chicago
Join us for a lunch and learn event, sponsored by biocrates life sciences and hosted by the UIC, exploring how the Western-style diet shapes the gut microbiome and influences metabolic pathways in complex chronic diseases.
Discover how targeted metabolomics can reveal crucial microbiome-host interactions that are impactful for many chronic diseases.
Key focus areas
Microbiome & metabolism
- Host-microbiome metabolic interactions
- Diet-induced microbiome alterations
- Key metabolites in disease development
Disease applications
- Neurological conditions | Microbiome-gut-brain axis
- Autoimmune disorders | Metabolic priming through microbiome changes
- Early disease indicators and intervention opportunities
