18 June 2019 - Symposium about the Human Microbiome at Philipps-Universität Marburg
The human body is inhabited by an impressive number
of microbes, the human microbiome. It is thought that
the microorganisms in our body outnumber the human
cells. The highest density of microbes, such as bacteria, archaea, fungi and viruses, is found in the intestinal and respiratory tracts, and on the skin.
In recent years, we have witnessed exciting research
unraveling a relevance of the microbiome for human
health and wellbeing. Key roles of the human microbiome in providing nutrients, programming the immunesystem, and preventing colonization by harmful
microbes have been suggested.
