Primate exposure to anthropogenic pollutants: Interactions with the gut microbiome and neuroendocrine SYSTEM

Primate exposure to anthropogenic pollutants: Interactions with the gut microbiome and neuroendocrine SYSTEM Michael Wasserman of Indiana University discusses interactions among the chemical exposome, microbes, and hormones in wild primates. The use of omics methodology to look at a range of biological molecules from genes to proteins in organisms facing rapidly changing environments globally, especially to explore causal relationships between exposomes and biological outcomes within real-world complex social-ecological systems, offers the potential to address environmental and public health concerns.
