Disease Free World: The Microbiome Rate

S1, E1: To create a disease-free world, scientists are pushing the envelope in every conceivable corner. This episode features the most cutting-edge scientists out there-including Nobel-prize winners-who are harnessing the power of what's called "The Microbiome." The Microbiome is the full array of the trillions of microorganisms that live in or on the human body, which help it function. By understanding the Microbiome as a kind of ecosystem, scientists are using innovative techniques to discern the microbes' various functions in the body as a whole.
