. Katrine Whiteson, PhD, will present “Metabolites, Germs and People: Human-associated Microbial Communities in Health and Disease”. Dr. Whiteson studies how individual and persistent human-associated microbial and viral communities affect health. The talk will address how infection with a bacterial pathogen, vaccination, immune development and even taking a Tylenol does not occur in a vacuum. Dynamic microbial and viral communities constantly inhabit our bodies, encoding the majority of the unique genes that alter these processes.
