Food intake and energy expenditure are key regulators of body weight. To regulate food intake, the brain must integrate physiological signals and hedonic cues…

The literature in personalized nutrition in healthcare has been expanding. This program will review the scientific principles of nutritional genomics and metabalomics in predicting and impacting health and disease…

BACKGROUND: There are few interventions that, when introduced at an advanced age in mammals, are known to improve healthspan. Caloric restriction and time-restricted feeding (TRF) improve healthspan, with up to 35% extension in lifespan when used with circadian alignment…

BACKGROUND: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a prevalent inflammatory disease of the colon, and it associated with lower levels of secondary bile acids and bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activity. Our lab has demonstrated that native bacteria can serve as chassis to functionally manipulate the gut microbiome…

BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) independently worsens atherosclerosis. Yet, the mechanisms through which OSA or its characteristic components, intermittent hypoxia and hypercapnia (IHC), increase atherosclerosis risk remain unclear…

BACKGROUND: Alterations in the gut microbiome have significant implications for metabolism and can modulate gene expression in different host tissues, thereby contributing to the occurrence of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes…

BACKGROUND: To properly assess the robustness and translatability of a bacterial live biotherapeutic product (LBP) to survive and perform in the gastrointestinal tract, a complex microbiota is required…

This session will focus on the latest advances and future outlook of engineered probiotics, highlighting how they differ from existing probiotics. Attendees will learn about the newest approaches to improving probiotics and review pre-clinical data using engineered probiotics…
