We have always been fascinated, terrified, and fixated by stool. As practitioners who focus on the GI tract, it has long been understood that everything can relate back to how we are pooping.
With the deluge of information being revealed about the human microbiota we are starting to unwind mechanisms. Fecal transplant has been at the heart of that revolution. From there, we are starting to appreciate all the tools we have to modulate the microbiome old and new.
In this presentation I will deep dive into the history of fecal transplant and its use in clinical trials. In addition, we will look at the regulatory climate and what is next for medicine and the microbiome.
