On Tuesday, 28 April, join the lecture “Gut microbiome for longevity” and learn how the microbiota supports health, what current research says, and which solutions are emerging in this field. Science 16+ Topic: “Gut microbiome for longevity” Speaker: Sofya Tsvetikova — head of microbiology at Novabiom, a Medtech resident; lecturer and researcher at ITMO University. Abstract: Did you know there is a whole ecosystem inside us? Trillions of gut microbes influence immunity, metabolism, inflammation, chronic disease risk, and aging. Today, microbiome research opens new paths for preventive medicine and a fresh look at age-related change. You will learn: - why the microbiome is treated as a “new organ”; - what functions it performs; - which lifestyle and dietary habits support gut health and slow age-related change; - how shifts in microbiota relate to age-associated disease; - what biomarker search and machine learning reveal from microbiome profiles; - why microbiota research underpins personalized, digital, and preventive medicine. Please bring ID. Venue: Medtech Technopark, Vernadsky Prospekt 96 (Troparyovo metro), Moscow — see map link on the Russian event page.
