Biotech Talk: Fact of Fat? The Gut Wrenching Truth About Obesity

Presented by Arizona Science Center at Arizona Science Center

April 21, 2010

Comment on Facebook

Obesity affects around 4 million Americans. What makes some people skinny and others fat? Local scientists from the Biodesign Institute at ASU, in collaboration with Mayo Clinic in Arizona and The University of Arizona, are looking into the tiny organisms that live in the human gut for some answers. Hear about a comparison from a molecular survey of the human gut inhabitants in obese individuals, normal-weight individuals and patients who had gastric bypass. The results may hold a key to one cause of obesity - and the prospect of future treatment. Guest would be Dr. Rosa Krajmalnik-Brown of ASU Biodesign.
