Academic Press Human-Gut Microbiome: Establishment and Interactions (Developments in Microbiology)

Human-Gut Microbiome: Establishment and Interactions gives an overview of microbiome establishments in humans and basic technologies used to decipher the structure and function of gut microbiome. Other sections focus on the application of microbiomics in different disease manifestations, such as obesity, diabetes, and more. The book provides the basics, as well as mechanistic knowledge underpinning the structural and functional understanding of the microbiome. With the advancement in omics technologies, as well as the development of bioinformatic tools, much research has been undertaken to decipher the microbiomes of different hosts. This research is generating valuable insights into micro-ecological niches and their impact on humans, hence this new release covers these new insights. The book will be a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, postgraduate and graduate students who are interested in understanding the impact and importance of the omics approach to humans and their microbiomes. Review Provides readers with a better understanding of the fundamentals of the establishment of microbiomes and their role in human health From the Back Cover With the advancement in omics technologies, as well as the development of bioinformatic tools, much research has been undertaken to decipher the microbiomes of different hosts. The research on microbiomes is generating valuable insights into micro-ecological niches and their impact on humans. Among the challenges is how microbiomes are established and how they translate into beneficial health effects. The other challenges in microbiome research are the mapping and clarifying of the metabolic and functional interactions between different microbial niches within the microbiome, due to the sheer diversity and huge number of microbial groups. Microbiome: An Interface of Functional and Translational Research. Human-Microbiome Interaction addresses these challenges, based on fundamentals, as well as advances in research of microbiome related to health. Microbiome: Establishment and Interactions is divided into two sections. The first section gives an overview of microbiome establishments in humans and the basic technologies used to decipher the structure and function of gut microbiome. The second section focuses on the application of microbiomics in different disease manifestations, such as obesity, diabetes, and others.

About the Author Dr Gunjan Goel is an associate professor at the Department of Microbiology, Central University of Haryana, Mahendergarh, India. He completed his PhD in microbiology at the National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal, India, and did postdoctoral research at the University of Hohenheim, Germany and the University of Ghent, Belgium. He has been working in the area of microbial communities and their assessment and has published more than 70 research papers in journals of international repute. He has been the principal investigator for national and international research projects funded by government agencies. His current research focuses on deciphering the role of different factors affecting gut microbial ecology, bio-accessibility, and bioavailability of food ingredients for in vitro simulated gut-model systems, and the assessment of probiotics using in vitro and in vivo models. He is a life member of the Association of Microbiologists of India and the Probiotic Association of India and he is on the editorial board of Fronti
