About this episode

What if your gut microbiome could help predict how your body might respond to different choices, diets, or diseases?In the seventh episode of Twin Things, Kasia Baliga-Nicholson talks with Tomasz Kościółek, Research Team Leader of the Structural and Functional Genomics Group at Sano, about the tiny world of microbes living in and around us, and why it may have a much bigger impact on our health than we usually imagine.Together, they explore how computational biology, protein structures, AI, and microbiome research can help us understand the human body as a complex and constantly changing system.This is a conversation about gut bacteria, personalised medicine, AlphaFold, citizen science, data standards, digital twins, and whether one day we might be able to simulate thousands of possible futures for our own health.Twin Things Podcast explores how scientists, engineers, and creatives use simulations and digital twins to understand the real world. It’s where technology meets real human stories. https://sano.science/ https://www.instagram.com/sanoscience/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/sanoscience https://twitter.com/sanoscience https://www.facebook.com/sano.science/ https://bsky.app/profile/sanoscience.bsky.social https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/twin-things-podcast/id1896467901 https://open.spotify.com/show/033cCZGXblNZLf3l7JYNag
