Designing Synthetic Human Gut Microbiome with AI
There was significant interest by the media when a team of researchers described their new technique for using machine learning techniques to help understand the human gut. Among those who reached out directly to Al Hero, co-author of a recent study published in the journal eLife, was the editor of the Science & Society room of the popular app known as clubhouse.
In the course of the interview with Catarina Cunha, Hero talked about what interested him in science and how he became involved with biologists and medicine. He also presented a full discussion of the research, in a way that was accessible to the general public.
