DESCRIPTION:The study of the human gut microbiome\, the comple
 x community of microorganisms inhabiting our intes
 tinal tract\, represents an emerging area of biome
 dical research. Given the hundreds to thousands of
  microbes that live inside us\, the main challenge
 s in the field are understanding who these microbe
 s are and how they contribute to human health. In 
 this talk\, I will present how genomics can help u
 s capture the diversity of the gut microbiome at a
 n unprecedented resolution and how these approache
 s have allowed us to identify almost 2\,000 uncult
 ured bacterial species that had never been seen be
 fore. These results have opened a microbiome pando
 ra’s box\, raising important questions regarding t
 he role of the many uncultured gut bacteria in hos
 t health and disease.
