Welcome to the blog From here, we will inform you of the news and events of our research group of the IATA-CSIC : Microbiome and Innovation in Nutrition and Health .

Another of our objectives, in addition to promptly communicating our research activities and ongoing projects, will be to disseminate relevant aspects for our health that the study of the intestinal microbiota provides us , as well as the connection or gut-brain axis ( gut-brain axis ). We will use a language close to the general public, since we think that it is important to reach all the public, especially in matters related to health.

We will also gradually reel off the results of our scientific activity in this exciting world of microbial ecology and prepare new challenges. Of course, nutrition will also be the protagonist in our blog. After all, we are what we eat …

That said, in some cases our ‘tone’ may change to a more scientific language, if we consider it relevant that the target audience of the published news, the target, is the scientific community . And we’ll also write in English

We sincerely hope that our contribution, our grain of sand, is of interest to you and helps to contribute to a improvement in general health and a greater awareness of scientific research , which is truly an engine of positive change for all societies. See you soon!
