How do microbes that live in and on us affect our health, development and even behaviour?
Micro-organisms cover our skin and fill our guts. These bacteria, viruses, and fungi — collectively called the human microbiome — have significant impact on human health. This program brings together anthropologists, biologists, and other scholars to address questions about the microbiome’s impact on human health and development, and how it is affected by individual and societal behaviour.
This meeting is by invitation only. For more information, please contact events@cifar.ca.
