Unraveling Microbial Mechanisms in Gut Health

How cysteine and microbial metabolism shape gut health and impact inflammatory bowel disease

Don’t Stop Believin’ in this talk. Dr. Sonny Lee explores the complex relationship between microbial communities and gut health, focusing on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Drawing on his expertise in microbiology, molecular biology, and bioinformatics, Dr. Lee will delve into how cysteine, a critical amino acid, influences the gut microbiome and impacts the onset and progression of IBD. The presentation highlights the importance of mechanistic insights in identifying therapeutic targets and managing gut-related disorders, offering a closer look at how microbial metabolism and host interactions shape overall health outcomes.
