It is widely known that different types of diet shape the composition of the human gut microbiome and that the gut microbiome composition plays a crucial role in several gastrointestinal diseases (i.e. colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel diseases). The goal of this event aims to bring together experts of complementary fields like food composition, gut microbiome, precision nutrition and precision health to both enhance and create new communication bridges across these disciplines and promote interdisciplinary collaborations to increase the molecular understanding of how food can be leveraged as a precise intervention on individual health. Thus, it will contribute to envisioning a future where food can be employed as preventive medicine by tailoring specific food consumption based on the individual’s gut microbiome composition and molecular needs.
Overall, the participants will gain knowledge on the ongoing research to disentangle the complex intersection between food composition, its impact on the gut microbiome composition and precision nutrition.
