This video explores topics discussed in the McMaster Demystifying Medicine NIH Seminar The Role of the Microbiome. Following the work of Dr. Jeffrey Gordon and his colleagues at Washington University and the International Centre for Diarrheal Disease, we look at the long-term effects of malnutrition and undernourishment on health and development. Specifically, we explore the concept of “microbiome immaturity” and its
effects, as well as current and future therapeutics that are being used to combat associated adverse health outcomes.

This video was made by McMaster students Chethana Ellewela, Nidal Jammal, Ravni Bomrah, and Yashasvi Yadav in collaboration with the McMaster Demystifying Medicine Program.
