About this listen

 On this show we will be talking to authors of new research articles, or the leaders of exciting projects from across the Norwich Research Park, and beyond. We’ll discuss the stories behind their work, and how their results will feed into efforts to address the big issues facing our societies, such as biodiversity loss, climate change, food-security and human health.

    Cancer, antibiotics and the microbiome
    Sep 15 2021

    Alastair McKee from the Quadram Institute discusses his paper linking the microbiome to breast cancer.

    ​

    Our microbiota help us digest the food we eat, but also has effects on health and disease that reach far beyond the gut - including cancer. Antibiotic drugs taken to combat bacterial infections also have adverse effects on our beneficial microbiota.


    So what can we learn about the ways the microbiota influences disease by using antibiotics to treat mice with cancer?
