Exploring the Gut-Lung Axis in Health and Disease

This webinar will be hosted live and available on-demand

11:00 AM - 12:30 PM ET

Diverse microbial communities that dwell deep within the enclaves of the human gut and lungs communicate locally as well as across vast distances in the human body via biochemical messenger molecules. To better understand the bidirectional crosstalk between the gut and lung, researchers study these microbial communities, the molecules they secrete, and the immune responses they elicit.

In this webinar brought to you by The Scientist, George O’Toole and Jorge Cervantes will explore how gut and lung microbes communicate to influence normal and disease states, with a focus on the biomolecular pathways and the ways in which researchers target them for therapeutic applications.
