As we learn more about how our microbiome works, the positive impact of a healthy gut has become more and more clear. One of the most fascinating aspects of the human digestive system is the enteric nervous system (ENS) and how it communicates with the brain. In this webinar, we’ll cover the science of the gut-brain connection and discuss what other secrets to health our many microbiomes might be carrying.

New technologies have allowed innovators to discover the mechanisms of action behind the efficacy of specific strains and bacteria-enhancing combinations, through advanced assay analysis, translational models, and even deep dives into public health data. The result is often a fresh perspective on biomarker information that can lead to the identification of some common traits among widespread health challenges, eventually translating into more targeted products available to the consumer.

Learning objectives:

  • Developing strategies that utilize the latest in biotechnology, machine learning and consumer insight analysis to match the best microbe to specific health concerns.

  • Exploring microfluidic technologies, automated imaging systems, and artificial intelligence (AI) to speed up organism testing and data acquisition.

  • Recognizing future consumer trends for the probiotics market and diagnosing new opportunities around digestive health and disease management.
