If I were in charge of a new research project, and it were going to be a project that involved the human microbiome, I’d want to focus on how changing the microbial system in our bodies would influence obesity. I’d be interested in knowing what fecal transplants can do, but more importantly, how to maintain a healthy microbiome that allows for easier weight loss. In addition to transplants, simply culturing the organisms associated with weight loss can open many avenues to treatment, from using them in probiotic food to pills.
