The Edge - Microbiome - Stephen Lindemann, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Food Science

Welcome to The Edge podcast! Here is a recording of our fascinating event on microbiome sciences with Dr. Stephen Lindemann at the Convergence Center in West Lafayette, IN on Tuesday, April 4th? During our Fireside Chat, Dr. Lindemann, Associate Professor of Food Science, shared his groundbreaking work on microbiome engineering. He explained how microbiomes can be used to improve human and animal health, food production, and the environment. We explored the latest trends in fermentation sciences and learned how Dr. Lindemann's background in genetics and computational biology has helped him develop cutting-edge solutions. Dr. Lindemann's talk highlighted the important intersection between microbiomes, the immune system, and the foods we eat. He shared his research and vision for how we may be getting closer to being able to engineer microbiomes as we start to take a systems biology approach to better understand the dynamics of microbial populations and elements that allow some microbes to thrive and some to perish.
