The human microbiome plays a critical role in shaping health outcomes across obesity, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and mental health. This webinar explores the emerging framework of mechanisms, metrics, and modifiers for advancing microbiome science into clinical practice. Attendees will learn how microbial features can serve as predictive biomarkers, how interventions such as diet, probiotics, and phage therapy can modulate microbial communities, and how innovations in longitudinal tracking are transforming discovery. We will also examine the role of the microbiome in precision nutrition, FDA-approved microbiome therapeutics, and novel approaches to mental health treatment. By bridging mechanistic understanding with translational strategies, microbiome research is poised to reshape modern medicine.
- How mechanisms of host–microbiome interaction reveal new therapeutic targets
- Which microbial metrics provide predictive diagnostic and prognostic power
- How modifiers such as diet, probiotics, phages, and FMT are being used to treat disease
- Why longitudinal, quantitative microbiome tracking is essential for clinical translation
Microbiome science is rapidly shifting from association to action. By uniting mechanisms, metrics, and modifiers, we can accelerate the path to personalized diagnostics and therapeutics that improve human health.
