Overview

Course Description

Colonizing the gut from birth, and maybe even before, gut microbes start a creative dialogue with human cells. Interactions with epithelial cells play a decisive role for gut structure development via innate and adaptive immune mechanisms. These interactions build everyday myriads of responses of oral tolerance and immune exclusion, leading to strengthen our health.

Dr. Kenneth Tachi, a Consultant Gastroenterologist at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and the University of Ghana Medical School, will touch on the renewed interest in the microbiome; the role of the microbiota in health and disease, the impact of antibiotics in causing dysbiosis and how to engineer our microbiota for health including the role of probiotics, prebiotics and fecal transplant.

What you will learn

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
1. Understand the reasons for the renewed interest in microbiome
2. Understand the contribution of the microbiota to health
3. Know the role of dysbiosis in disease causation
4. Know how to engineer our microbiome to restore health
