Microbiome and Chronic Diseases

Microbiome and Chronic Diseases is a key session that explores the growing evidence linking gut microbiota to the development and progression of long-term health conditions. The human microbiome plays a vital role in regulating immune responses, metabolism, and inflammation. Disruptions in microbial balance, known as dysbiosis, have been strongly associated with chronic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and certain cancers.

This session will examine how microbial imbalances contribute to chronic inflammation, altered metabolic pathways, and impaired immune function. It will also highlight the influence of diet, lifestyle, environmental factors, and antibiotic exposure on microbiome composition and disease risk.
