An interview with José Clemente: “Early life changes in microbiota as a result of C-Section may be responsible for diseases in children later on”
During the 5th Gut Microbiota for Health World Summit 2016 José Clemente, assistant professor at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, talk about the importance of gut microbiota at early life.
Researcher José Clemente, assistant professor at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, investigates whether we can revert the effects of an abnormal microbial colonisation after, for instance, a C-section. He attended the 5th Gut Microbiota for Health World Summit 2016, held in Miami and we had the opportunity to interview him and talk about the importance of gut microbiota at early life. We hope you enjoy the interview.
The human microbiome has captured the interest of researchers and the lay public. Patrick Veiga's new novel, Mission: Microbiome – Metchnikoff’s Legacy, explores how gut microbiome research could pave the way for better planetary health, from the first probiotics to groundbreaking innovations poised to transform the future of medicine and nutrition.
Emerging studies support the relationship between the human gut microbiome and organ function outside the gut. Find out more about the knowns and unknowns on how the gut communicates with other parts of the body, involving the gut, the brain, the lungs, the skin, and even the heart, and why it matters to your health.
Over two intense days of conference, specialists shared the latest research findings and their experiences in both research and clinical practice, exploring how everyday factors influence the composition of the gut microbiota and impact our health. Here, we bring you the key insights from the event.
