Ep18. Coffee affects your microbiome with Prof. Nicola Segata

Chris and Doran are joined by Prof. Nicola Segata from University of Trento. Prof. Segata is a world famous professor of computational metagenomics, and is the senior author on a recently published study that strongly suggests that consuming coffee directly affects the population of some gut bacteria. Metagenomics is far removed from our expertise. Instead of us fumbling around the paper, we decided to have the true world expert come talk to us about it. Production note: The paper came out over the holiday period so we recorded remotely. The sound quality is not what we usually strive for, but the content quality is exceptionally high. We hope you enjoy. The paper: Nat. Microbio., 2024, 9, 3120 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41564-024-01858-9 The article can be found in coffee literature library: ⁠⁠https://pages.uoregon.edu/chendon/coffee_literature/coffee_lit_rev/⁠⁠ About Nicola Segata: Prof. Segata is from Trento, matriculated through Trento, spent a brief period as a postdoc at Harvard, and returned to Trento where he holds a position as Professor of Computational Metagenomics. He is one of the most highly cited scientists in all fields and has a staggering career of papers that merge computational biology with amazing experimental datasets.
