Presented by Felix O. Yarovinsky, MD--Professor, Center for Vaccine Biology and Immunology, University of Rochester Medical Center

The gut microbiome is all the microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that live in our digestive tracts. They help you break down food, turning it into nutrients your body can use. There is a rapidly growing interest in the gut microbiome and the impact it can have on health and disease. Dr. Yarovinsky will discuss the microbiome's relationship to our overall health and how improved understanding of it has the potential to transform medicine.
