Me and my microbiome - the human superorganism
We are not alone. On and in us live about 10 trillion microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. Our tiny co-inhabitants are summarized under the term microbiome. Compared to the microbiome, our body consists of only about 1 trillion cells. Our human cells live (mostly) in good neighborhood with the microorganisms and help each other, this is called 'symbiosis. So we are not alone, but a real superorganism.
In the lecture we will find out what the microbiome is and what our microbial fingerprint looks like, what tasks the microbiome does for us or what happens when the microbion gets out of balance ("good" vs. "bad" microorganisms). Our speaker is Dr. Anne Kammel.
