EH Gijs van Seventer Seminar Series: Obesity, Asthma, and the Microbiome
Stephanie Shore, PhDDepartment of Environmental HealthHarvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health////Obesity augments pulmonary responses to the air pollutant, ozone, including ozone-induced airway hyperresponsiveness, a canonical feature of asthma. The mechanistic basis for this effect of obesity is not well understood. Dr. Shore will describe work using obese mice, germ free conditions, antibiotic treatment, fecal transplants, and 16S sequencing of fecal DNA to examine the hypothesis that obesity-related changes in the gut microbiome contribute to obesity-related changes in the response to ozone.
