specific microbial species might 
lead to more successful results. 
Fecal transplants deliver stool 
samples from healthy donors 
to ill patients to change the 
microbiome 
in 
the 
patient’s 

digestive 
tract, 
according 
to 

Johns 
Hopkins 
Medicine. 

Currently, this procedure is used 
to treat recurrent inflammation 
in the large intestine caused 
by a bacterial species called 
Clostridium difficile.

“This 
idea 
of 
giving 
a 

community of microbes, I think, 
makes a lot of sense when thinking 
about other applications,” Yong 
said. “One of the most successful 
attempts involve exactly that … 
(Fecal transplant) is quite like an 
ecosystem transplant.”

Gilbert 
emphasized 
the 

importance of microbiomes in 
a medical setting, saying that 
studying 
the 
microbiome 
in 

individual patients is necessary for 
precision medicine, in addition to 
studying the human genome.

“Why doesn’t genetics give us 

the whole answer?” Gilbert said. 
“Because we need the human 
genome … but we need microbial 
genome as well.”

Gilbert further discussed how 

manipulating the microbiome can 
be useful for treating and curing 
many human diseases, such as 
allergies. Gilbert discussed, for 
instance, Amish children, who 
grow up on farms and usually do 
not develop asthma or allergies 
due to their exposure to certain 
microbes during their youth. 

Gilbert also discussed other 

health issues such as obesity 
and cancer from a microbiome 
perspective, 
mentioning 
that 

changing the microbiome can be 
an approach to fight such health 
crises.

“We are now working very 

exclusively to find way to use 
the microbiome ... to make the 
immune system fight cancer,” 
Gilbert said. “There are many 
ways we can harbor microbiome 
therapies for treating diseases.”

LSA sophomore John Hartert 

said he attended the session 
and a couple of talks during the 
day because he is interested 
in microbial ecology. Hartert 
particularly found the ubiquitous 
and impactful nature of the 
microbiome interesting.

“I was really interested in 

how expansive the effects of the 
microbiome is,” Hartert said.
