How familiar are you with your microbiome? They were here long before us and will undoubtedly remain long after we’re gone. They are our microbiome, and after eons of cohabitation, we are finally getting to know one another better. Of course, we aren’t always the best of neighbors. Autoimmune diseases, allergies, depression, and Alzheimer’s may be diseases of an unhappy microbiome. World-renowned microbiologists will zoom in on the micro world and zoom out on its macro influence at the "Me, My Microbiome, and I: The Vital Cells of Existence" program on June 2.
