Meet intestinal researcher Alice Højer Christensen. For 37 years Alice has worked with the gut microbiome: the ecosystem of bacteria, fungi and other microbes that live in the large intestine. For this lecture you will gain insight into the latest knowledge from a research area in rapid development.

Today, we know that the microbiome plays a crucial role in our health and well-being.
