Expert speaker
Dr Gemma Walton
Lecturer in Metagenomics, University of Reading.
Gemma Walton has been studying the gut microbiota for the last 18 years. Research interests include how the gut bacteria can impact on our health and how we can modulate this community.
Paper reference
The session discusses Michael de Vrese’s 2006 paper Probiotic bacteria reduced duration and severity but not the incidence of common cold episodes in a double blind, randomized, controlled trial. It explores common cold incidence with and without probiotic intervention was explored – an interesting study that deserves re-visiting.
