Gut microbes and human health - Dr. Eran Elinav

The human body is host to around 1.5 kg of microbes, with the number of bacterial cells outnumbering human cells. Understanding this human microbiome and how it functions could enable us to design personalised, microbiome-based therapies against various diseases. Listen to Dr Eran Elinav, ERC grantee at Weizmann Institute of Science, who is deciphering the molecular basis of host-microbiome interactions to develop personalised medicine and nutrition.
