More about this course
- The overarching subject of the course is to describe how gut commensal organisms are involved in the maintenance of human health
- The course uses a collection of recently published, ground-breaking, and exciting new discoveries on the subject
- We make connections between diet, gut colonization with commensal organisms, metabolites released by the commensal organisms, and maintenance of health
- We also discuss the role of commensals when health is perturbed during conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and infection
- Students learn what changes in the commensal communities co-occur with the different diseased states
- Under the commensal-neurodegenerative disease topic, we explore the contribution of commensal-derived metabolites to the development and progression of autism, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's diseases
- Under the commensal-cancer topic, we examine how the efficacy of current biologics for cancer treatment depends on commensal colonizers
- Lastly, we explore how commensal species alter immune responses to determine susceptibility to infections
- This is a highly interactive course, where students may suggest and select favorite topics to explore and present during section discussions
- Students can also suggest innovative future research directions based what they have learned during our meetings
