The study of the human microbiome has emerged as a new frontier in biomedical science. Throughout the past decades, a growing body of research is revealing that the types of microbes living in or on us are implicated in many human diseases. However, thousands of bacteria and viruses that are part of the normal human microbiome are largely unknown. In this presentation, I will highlight how our team at the University of Cambridge is applying large-scale computational approaches that leverage metagenomics, machine learning and systems biology to advance our understanding on how the gut microbiome may be involved in health and disease.
