Diet and the Microbiome

Catalog description

In this course, students will acquire a present-day overview of the reported effects of diet on the microbiome with an emphasis on metabolic health outcomes. The microbiome field is rapidly evolving, and this course has no textbook; we will mainly be assessing primary literature and scientific reviews. Students will learn to critically analyze the conclusions drawn from microbiome studies to empower them to make informed judgments as new research findings are reported.
