Phenomics & Microbiome | Marc-Emmanuel Dumas

Jul 02 2024 37 mins  
In this episode, Alice Limonciel and Marc-Emmanuel Dumas discuss metabolites as the messengers of the microbiome towards the host, the added value of investigating multiple measures of the phenotype in the context of liver disease, and how machine learning and AI will impact the field in the near future.

Aging fluidity & omics signatures | Vadim Gladyshev

Jun 03 2024 34 mins  
In this episode, Alice Limonciel and Vadim Gladyshev discuss the use of omics in aging research, the place of metabolomics in a field largely dominated by DNA methylation, how aging research can impact all of biomedical research, and the reversibility of aging markers in various models.

Physical markers & treatment of mental illness | Sabine Bahn

May 06 2024 38 mins  
In this episode, Alice Limonciel and Sabine Bahn discuss how to improve the tools for diagnosing and treating patients with mental illness, from depression to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
