“Within us all, we have a commensal community of microbes that contribute to our health, known as the microbiome. The microbiome is present in many parts of the body, such as the skin, mouth, lungs and gut. This fascinating community is at the nexus of health: from influencing digestion and metabolism to providing protection against disease, the complex world within each of us creates an extraordinary opportunity to understand health and disease. In cancer, researchers work to understand the role of the microbiota in determining cancer development, treatment response, and more.”
