The idea that our microbiome plays an important role to our proper functioning as organisms has been around for several decades now, but we don’t really understand all underlying mechanisms of this relationship in its entirety. But that’s going to change soon as we start to leverage the powerful computational capabilities of artificial intelligence to help us explore this relatively untapped space. Guru Banavar finds himself at the forefront of these developments that would soon define the future of our microbiome. In this conversation with Doctor Awesome, talks about his work on host/microbe molecular data analysis and the interesting applications he is working on at Viome Inc. They talk about the link between oral health, gut health, and systemic health, the regulating role of microbiota in the whole picture, and how these insights can help us manage one of the biggest problems in the 21st century – chronic disease. Tune in and learn how are little friends in and on our bodies might play and even bigger role in our future as a species than they already do now.
