What are the most exciting clinical developments in the field of gut microbiota and probiotic supplementation? How do outer membrane vesicles violate the dogma that bacteria and human cells should not communicate directly? Why is the gut microbiota now considered an organ in the body that is postnatal, or an organ that grows right after birth?Kiran Krishnan is a Research Microbiologist and has been involved in the dietary supplement and nutrition market for the past 17 years. He comes from a strict research background having spent several years with hands-on R&D in the fields of molecular medicine and microbiology at the University of Iowa. He left University research to take a position as the U.S. Business Development and Product Development lead for Amano Enzyme, USA.
