presents, “From precise microbial genomics to precision medicine”

Talk abstract:  The Bhatt lab seeks to illuminate the interplay between the microbial environment and host/clinical factors in human diseases. In this talk, Dr. Bhatt will share exciting new developments on the application of novel molecular and computational tools to study strain level dynamics of the microbiome, understand how microbial genomes change over time and predict the functional output of microbiomes. She will also speak about recent efforts to understand how microbes “talk” to one another and to host cells, and to leverage this understanding to improve health and treat diseases.
