the human gut microbiome
25 april 2024
human microbiome research is an exciting and dynamic field that has the potential to benefit many areas of our society and the economy. microbiome research has progressed rapidly since the development of new genomic technologies and investment in large-scale, collaborative projects such as the human microbiome project, a ten-year research initiative launched in 2007 which set out to characterise the human microbiome and its role in health and disease. evidence from this project, alongside more recent studies, suggests that the findings from microbiome research can be used to improve human health.

antimicrobial resistance in the uk: diagnostics and surveillance
23 november 2023
the rise of antimicrobial resistance (amr) is one of the most urgent global threats to public health in the 21st century. amr refers to disease-causing microbes (also known as pathogens) evolving and gaining resistance to drugs and substances that were once effective treatments against infections (antimicrobials). it poses significant challenges to current clinical care, health economies, animal and plant health as well as the environment. microbiologists from across the world are committed to developing innovative solutions to combat amr and reduce its impact on global health.

a sustainable future: project statement
17 december 2020
the united nations 17 sustainable development goals (sdgs), including “good health and well-being”, “gender equality” and “affordable and clean energy”, build on the success of the millennium development goals to cement hundreds of years of incremental human progress with the support of a strong international community. the global goals are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. many of the steps that will be taken on the long road towards achieving the sdgs will involve outputs from microbiological research. the major policy decisions needed to set us on this journey require knowledge of relevant microbial activities and how these can be channelled for the greater benefit.
