SUMMARY:Food for Heath Seminar Series\: Ran Blekhman
STATUS:CONFIRMED
DESCRIPTION:Title\: “Genomics of Host-Microbiome Interactions”\n \nSumm
 ary\: The Blekhman Lab studies host-microbiome interactions\, focusing on 
 host genetic control of the microbiome. We use genomic data and employ sta
 tistical\, machine learning\, and population genetic analytical approaches
 \, with the goal of understanding how host genetic variation impacts comme
 nsal microbial communities\, how the microbiome regulates host genes\, and
  how host-microbiome crosstalk affects human health. In my talk\, I will d
 escribe key recent studies from our lab\, including efforts to quantify th
 e heritability of the microbiome using large-scale longitudinal data\, cha
 racterize worldwide patterns of gut microbiome variation\, and define host
  gene-microbe interactions using functional genomics techniques.
