Emerging Technology for Improved Diet and Microbiome Analysis (NUTRITION 2024 On Demand Collection)
This course is included in the NUTRITION 2024 On Demand Collection.
Human research examining how diet and gut microbiome interactions influence health is underway globally in the form of large-scale cohort studies as well as smaller dietary interventions. Researchers working to identify new diet-gut microbe relationships face a lack of resolution and a high degree of variability in both dietary and microbial data. New tools for dietary data collection, and gut microbiota analysis are rapidly being developed and existing tools adapted to help address these issues. As this field rapidly moves forward, we need to understand how to best apply new methods across varied study groups to obtain the most accurate and precise results possible. Join us as we explore how novel methods in diet assessment, microbiology and machine learning/AI are being applied to advance understanding of diet-microbiome interactions in health and disease.
Originally presented at NUTRITION 2024, ASN's flagship meeting which was held June 29 to July 2 in Chicago, IL.
