Microbes in Motion: Exploring Ecosystem Response to Nutrient Changes

Discover how researchers are uncovering the dynamic behaviour of microbial ecosystems

The gut microbiome is a highly complex and constantly evolving ecosystem. Understanding how microbial communities respond to environmental changes is critical to advancing research in human health, disease, and precision medicine.

We are joined by leading microbiome researchers from the University of Chicago for an in-depth webinar exploring how advanced continuous culture bioreactor systems are enabling scientists to study microbial ecosystem dynamics with unprecedented control and insight.

Hear from World-Leading Experts in Microbiome Research

This exclusive session features presentations from internationally recognised microbiome researcher Dr. Eugene B. Chang, Director of the University of Chicago Microbiome Medicine Program, alongside researchers from the Chang and DeLeon laboratories.

Together, they will share cutting-edge research, methodologies, and future directions for studying host-microbe interactions, dysbiosis, and microbial ecosystem responses to nutrient perturbations.

What You’ll Learn

During this webinar, attendees will gain insights into:

  • How continuous culture bioreactor systems are transforming microbiome research
  • The use of the H.E.L BioXplorer platform to investigate microbial ecosystem dynamics
  • Approaches for modelling gut microbiome behaviour under changing nutrient conditions
  • The role of dysbiosis research in advancing precision medicine
  • Best practices for bioreactor workflow design and experimental setup
  • How longitudinal microbiome datasets can support advanced computational modelling
  • Emerging opportunities and future directions in microbiome and ecosystem research
