Our human microbiome helps us do so many things, like digest our food, train our immune system, and protect against illness. But modern-day practices are changing our microbiome and potentially increasing our risk for disease. This episode of the Advance Rutgers podcast is part one of a two-part microbiome mini-series. It features Dr. Martin Blaser, Henry Rutgers Chair of the Human Microbiome and professor of medicine and pathology, and Professor Gloria Dominguez-Bello, Henry Rutgers Professor of Microbiome and Health, who are cofounders (along with Professor Liping Zhao) of the Rutgers University Microbiome Program. They shed light on why our microbiome is changing, the impacts of that change, and how the Rutgers University Microbiome Program will help people understand the role of microbes in improving health—specifically the health of our children.
