Biology Seminar: "The microbial ecology of xenobiotic metabolism", talk by Dr. Libusha Kelly

How is microbial ecology linked to human health? Why does the same perturbation to the microbiome lead to different outcomes in different individuals? Explore a recent finding demonstrating that the abundance and phylogeny of microbial enzymes involved in xenobiotic metabolism correlates with drug metabolism phenotypes (‘metabotypes’) in the human gut.

Sponsored by the George B. Saul II Lecture Fund. (Lunch available at 12:15pm) Dr. Kelly will also give a public talk the day before. See separate calendar listing.
