  • Summary

  • On the surface, we’re all quite similar. But zoom in and our unique biologies and environments reveal differences that shape how we react to certain foods, process medicines, and are susceptible to specific diseases. For a long time, medicine took a one-size-fits-all approach—and sometimes it didn’t fit at all. Now we’re on the cusp of a major shift: a new era where treatments could be tailored to each person’s unique biology. Join Silvia Lazzaris as she speaks with researchers and clinicians at the forefront of this transformation, exploring the discoveries that challenged our understanding of the human body and the innovations set to redefine healthcare. We’ll tackle big questions: Where are we now? What could healthcare look like in the future? And crucially, who will have access to it?

    Ep.2 - The Microbiome: your inner ecosystem
    Nov 5 2024
    We’re hosts to trillions of bacteria that live inside of us, shaping our health in ways we’re only beginning to understand. Our cells are outnumbered by bacteria, and it turns out that just like our DNA, the makeup of our microbiome is uniquely ours. In this episode, we’ll explore how these microbes aren’t just along for the ride – they’re active players in our health story. For this episode we interviewed: Professor Emma Allen-Vercoe and Professor Nicola Segata.
