It includes bacteria, fungi, viruses and other microbes. They play an important role in digestion, the development of the immune system and our health in general. In recent years, the gut microbiome in particular has been linked to many diseases, from diabetes and autism to cancer and neurodegeneration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his lecture, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/lcsb-en\/people\/paul-wilmes\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Prof. Paul Wilmes<\/a> will provide an overview of the human microbiome and its role, and how it is being studied at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/lcsb-en\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine<\/a> at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">糖心Vlog<\/a>. He will explain the influence that the microbiome can have on health and disease and present examples from current research studies, such as how the type of birth influences the development of the microbiome in infants and how the combination of microbes and diet can influence the development of colon cancer and Parkinson&#8217;s disease. He will further explain what the microbiome can tell us about the early stages of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson&#8217;s and Alzheimer&#8217;s, and how we can influence the microbiome to stay healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Agenda:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>19:00 &#8211; Lecture followed by Q&amp;A session<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>20:00 &#8211; Reception<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In his lecture, Prof. Paul Wilmes will provide an overview of the human microbiome and its role, as studied at the LCSB, and how it can influence health and diseases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":94,"featured_media":8649,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":{"x":0.44,"y":0.39},"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"event_start_date":"2024-11-27 19:00:00","event_end_date":"2024-11-27 20:00:00","event_speaker_name":"Prof. Paul Wilmes","event_speaker_link":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/lcsb-en\/people\/paul-wilmes\/","event_is_online":false,"event_location":"Trifolion Echternach, Salle Agora","event_street":"2, Porte Saint Willibrord \u00a0","event_location_link":"https:\/\/trifolion.lu\/","event_zip_code":"6486 ","event_city":"Echternach","event_country":"Luxembourg"},"events-topic":[306,314],"events-type":[323,322,315],"organisation":[202],"authorship":[94],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) -
