Clinical Microbiome in Health & Disease — Hands-on

Learn how to design, analyze and interpret clinical microbiome studies spanning gut, oral, skin and other body sites. You will connect ecological and functional readouts to clinical phenotypes, explore disease associations and risk scores, and structure reports and visualizations that clinicians and public health teams can act upon.
