Learn about the relationship between the human microbiome, diet, and the immune system. Professor Liam O’Mahony & Gillian DunnGalvin will discuss the potential of different microbiome-based products (such as probiotics, prebiotics, or live therapeutics) to protect us against infections and associated inflammatory damage. Both theoretical and practical considerations will be presented from a clinical research perspective. Humankind faces a crisis of a communicable chronic disease that attacks the respiratory system, better known as Covid-19 or the Coronavirus. Due to the unprecedented arrival of this highly contagious disease, there has been a worldwide scramble to better understand the human immune system, its functions, and most importantly, what can we do to strengthen it.
