Science Breakfast

Im Rahmen der BioTechMed-Graz Science Breakfasts werden Gastvorträge zu aktuellen wissenschaftlichen und gesellschaftsrelevanten Themen gehalten.

Aktuelle Veranstaltung:

Am Mittwoch, 04. Juni 2025, um 08.30 Uhr findet das nächste Science Breakfast im RESOWI Center (SZ 15.21) der Universität Graz statt.

Sandra Holasek (FE Ernährungsforschung/Nutrition and Metabolism, Medizinische Universität Graz) hält einen Vortrag zum Thema „Nutrition, the Microbiome, and the Immune System”. 

“The human intestinal microbiota has been shown to play a major role in maintaining health and preventing and treating diseases. The interaction with microbes and the resulting changes in food bioactives are poorly understood and biotransformation in the human organism is still largely unexplored. We investigate the role of plant compounds such as vitamins, carotenoids and polyphenols in nutritional immunometabolism in dentritic cells and T cells from a translational perspective. Another focus is the influence of food quality and the gut microbiome on the immune system in connection with eating disorders, lifestyle, body fat and age.”
