Self-paced course  

The human microbiome in health and disease

A course for educators and microbiome enthusiasts

Overview

The interest in understanding the microbes that live in our bodies, shaping us and supporting or disrupting our well-being, is growing exponentially. The self-paced course “The microbiome in health and disease“, organised by EMBL’s Science Education and Public Engagement team, aims to give an overview and deep dive into the field of microbiome research and help educators teach the topic in class.

The free course will run online from 27 November 2023 to 13 January 2024, allowing educators and anyone interested in learning more about the microbiome to join at any time and explore the course content at their own pace. At the end of the course, you can obtain a certificate of attendance by completing a short feedback questionnaire.

Please note: This course includes content from previous EMBL “Introducing your microbiome” courses. In addition to previous content, a new scientific talk, scientific discussion, learning and teaching resources have been added. In addition, a brand new pedagogical activity is now available to teach the impact of the microbiome on our health and disease.

Who is this course for?
This course is aimed at formal and informal educators, as well as teacher trainers and teachers in training.

It will also be useful for science professionals and anyone interested in learning more about our microbiome.
