SUMMARY:Invisible Residents: You and your 100 trillion bacteria - Vagheesh

DESCRIPTION:The average human body contains some ten trillion cells\, yet 
 carries over ten times this many microbes in the gut\, mouth\, and on the 
 surface of the skin - making all of us\, remarkably\, composite organisms 
 that are only 10% "human". The talk will be on the results and analysis of
  the work carried out in our lab on the Human Microbiome Project\, one of 
 the most ambitious surveys of bacteria living and evolving in the human bo
 dy and how this has allowed us to look at niche specialization among micro
 bes resident at different body sites (there's a lot)\, functional variatio
 n among different human hosts (not nearly as much)\, the influences of hos
 t diet and environment over time (ongoing) and finally the impact of this 
 analysis on human health.
