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.
Scientists have long been debating whether gut colonization by microorganisms starts during pregnancy or at birth. Dr. Hervé Blottière updates us on what current studies say about when bacteria first colonize the body and the impact of that process on infant health.
Irritable bowel syndrome is currently considered a disorder related to gut-brain communication and emerging evidence supports the involvement of gut microbes. Dr. James Versalovic updates what we know so far about the contribution of an altered gut microbiota to the development of the condition and the available science-backed tools for relieving symptoms.
Dr. Stéphane Schneider explains what recent studies have shown regarding the importance of taking care of what you eat for preventing or better controlling type 2 diabetes through the gut microbiome.
