Uncovering The Role of the Human Intestinal Microbiome in Health and Disease, presented by Scott Amon, Assistant Professor, Le Moyne College.My lab works with a small nematode, C. elegans, model organism to study how environmentimpacts health and development. The environmental factors we focus on are diet and gut microbiota. We askseveral fundamental questions, such as what makes a gut microbiome ‘healthy’? What are good or bad microbes?Can microbiomes harm the intestine and the nervous system? We address these questions using interdisciplinaryapproaches at the intersection of molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics. Furthermore, my lab is alsointerested in using the human microbiome to identify factor(s) that reduce virulence of P. aeruginosa. P.aeruginosa including the lung, ventilator-associated pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, andcystic fibrosis. Together, my research is purposefully designed to shed some light on the function of the humanmicrobiota on health.
