The George B. Saul Lecture Fund Presents: Dr. Libusha Kelley
Dr. Libusha Kelley, Department of Systems & Computational Biology and Department of Microbiology & Immunology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
How is microbial ecology linked to human health? Why does the same perturbation to the microbiome lead to different outcomes in different individuals? Explore a recent finding demonstrating that the abundance and phylogeny of microbial enzymes involved in xenobiotic metabolism correlates with drug metabolism phenotypes (‘metabotypes’) in the human gut. (Refreshments) Dr. Kelly is with the Departments of Systems & Computational Biology and Microbiology & Immunology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
This talk is part of the George B. Saul II Lectures in Biology. Dr. Kelly will also give a science talk on Friday, Oct. 27 at 12:30pm (MBH 216) entitled: “The microbial ecology of xenobiotic metabolism”
Thursday, October 26, 4:30-5:30 pm in BiHall 216 “The microbial worlds inside us” – refreshments
Science Talk: Friday, October 27, 12:30 pm in BiHall 216 “The microbial ecology of xenobiotic metabolism” – lunch available at 12:15 pm
