A new study finds that a gut bacterium may contribute to memory loss in mice, highlighting growing evidence of connections between the microbiome and brain health. ISB’s Sean Gibbons discusses the study’s implications.

This profile details Lee Hood and his decades-long mission to transform medicine through systems biology and predictive health. Hood outlines how large-scale biological data and longitudinal studies could enable earlier detection of disease and more proactive healthcare.

Lee Hood was ranked #41 on Forbes’ “250 America’s Greatest Innovators” list, published in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. The list highlights individuals whose scientific leadership, creativity, and impact are shaping the future of science and innovation — and recognizes Hood’s lasting contributions to research and discovery.

Dr. Lee Hood joined podcast host Jeremy Koenig to discuss the evolution of medicine from reactive care to P4 health. He explored eight paradigm shifts that have transformed biology and highlighted how systems thinking, big data, and AI are reshaping wellness and personalized care.

ISB’s Cory Funk is a guest on the Optispan podcast, and sifts through why hundreds of Alzheimer’s drugs have missed the mark – and what actually moves the needle – turning hard lessons into practical takeaways for patients, clinicians, and researchers.

ISB’s Sean Gibbons joins host Mark Martin and provides a lively tour of how you actually “count” a microbiome – turning gut talk into hard numbers with tools like metagenomics, qPCR, and flow cytometry, plus myth-busting and why biomass and growth rates matter for real-world health.

Dr. Sean Gibbons joins Dr. Buck Joffrey for a podcast interview to discuss the complexities of the gut microbiome, its evolution, and its significant role in health and longevity. Gibbons explains how our microbiome is established at birth, how it changes throughout life, and the impact of diet and lifestyle on its composition. The discussion also covers the challenges of modifying the microbiome, the potential of precision nutrition, and the emerging field of fecal transplants.

In this deep-dive episode, Matt Kaberlein sits down with Sean Gibbons, one of the leading researchers in human microbiome science, to explore the complexity, nuance, and emerging applications of gut microbiome research. They cover both foundational and cutting-edge topics.
