Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to enable students to understand the relationship between climate change and the human microbiota, and to equip them with the skills to assess the effects of environmental changes on the microbiota and human health.
Course Content
This course addresses the effects of climate change on the human microbiota and its implications for human health. The course will examine the impact of rising temperatures, air pollution, changes in dietary habits, and environmental factors on microbiota composition.
Course Precondition
Resources
Lecture notes and selected scientific publications from current literature will be used.
Notes
Current scientific publications and literature.
