Abstract :

The revolution has begun. A revolution in wellness and consumer products that is opening a new approach towards human health. With the adoption of DNA sequencing, a whole new world has opened up, allowing researchers to identify specific strains of bacteria. Combined with the informatics revolution, mass data gathering projects such as The Human Food Project, Human Microbiome Project and others are mapping the diverse microbial environment to changes in health. Mr. Leighton will identify how the next generation of well-adopted consumer nutrition products will be probiotic based; how these Functionally Targeted Probiotics will have a dramatic positive impact on consumers and the strained healthcare system; and what the emerging science is showing us about microbiome-based wellness. Mr. Leighton will assess the changing perspectives of consumers and how these trends directly intersect with advances in probiotics research.
