a conversation featuring<\/p>\n

Elaine Hsiao, Ph.D.<\/strong>
\nDe Logi Professor of Biological Sciences, Department of Integrative Biology and Physiology<\/p>\n

Amy Rowat, Ph.D.<\/strong>
\nAssociate Professor, Department of Integrative Biology and Physiology
\nMarcie H. Rothman Presidential Chair in Food Studies<\/p>\n

with Q&A moderated by<\/p>\n

Rachelle H. Crosbie, Ph.D.<\/strong>
\nChair and Professor, Department of Integrative Biology and Physiology
\nJoin the journey into the future of food with world-renowned professors of UCLA\u2019s Department of Integrative Biology and Physiology. The webinar will explore how science can develop tailored formulations of\u00a0microorganisms that could improve brain health, or even engineer precisely tailored meats, like a marbled steak. Dr. Elaine Hsiao will discuss recent advances in understanding how the gut microbiome interacts with diet and the nervous system to impact brain health and complex behaviors. She will be joined by Dr.\u00a0Amy Rowat, who will discuss\u00a0the pioneering approaches her lab is taking to grow muscle and fat tissue for cultured meat applications.<\/p>\n
