DESCRIPTION:The study of the human gut microbiome\, the complex community 
 of microorganisms inhabiting our intestinal tract\, represents an emerging
  area of biomedical research. Given the hundreds to thousands of microbes 
 that live inside us\, the main challenges in the field are understanding w
 ho these microbes are and how they contribute to human health. In this tal
 k\, I will present how genomics can help us capture the diversity of the g
 ut microbiome at an unprecedented resolution and how these approaches have
  allowed us to identify almost 2\,000 uncultured bacterial species that ha
 d never been seen before. These results have opened a microbiome pandora
 ’s box\, raising important questions regarding the role of the many uncu
 ltured gut bacteria in host health and disease.
