IAFNS: Host Microbiota Interactions | A Personalized Point of View

The laboratory of Dr. Benoit Chassaing, Team Leader at INSERM located at Institut Pasteur in Paris, focuses on mucosal microbiota in chronic inflammatory diseases. The central objective of his research team is to study the composition and function of the microbiota at the mucosal surface, in both health and disease states, and using both pre-clinical models and clinical approaches. In this presentation, Dr. Chassaing covered recent advances made toward a better understanding of the central role played by mucus-associated bacteria in chronic inflammatory diseases, as well as the extent to which microbiota assessment will enable, in the coming years, precision nutrition and medicine.
