From Genomes to Gut-Brain Signaling: Exploring the Microbial Connection to Mental Health





🧠🦠 From Genomes to Gut-Brain Signaling: Exploring the Microbial Connection to Mental Health
What happens when we look beyond the gut and ask how microbes can influence the brain?

Join us as we explore the fascinating connection between microbial genomes, probiotic potential, gut-brain signaling, and mental health through two insightful talks:
🔬 Asst. Prof. Dr. Bernadette Bagon’s talk entitled
“From Genomes to Gut-Brain Signaling: Engineering Probiotic Potential”
Discover how genomic information can help us understand and engineer microbial traits with potential applications in gut-brain signaling.

🧠 Dr. Joshua Olorocisimo’s talk entitled
“From Gut to Mind: How Microbes Shape Mental Health”
Explore emerging evidence on how microorganisms in the gut may influence brain function, behavior, and mental health.
From microbial genomes to the gut, and from the gut to the mind, these talks offer a glimpse into the growing field of microbiome research and the possibilities it holds for understanding human health.
