5. Probiotics, Gut Health and Big Data with Martina Poletti Brain Cherries Podcast

In this episode we shift our attention to the latest scientific discoveries and discuss topics such as probiotics, food and nutrition, the microbiota and data science in the healthcare sector. Don't miss this episode if you want to find out the origin of the word "gut feeling" or want to know more about a technique with a quite dubious name, called "fecal microbiota transplant" (?!), which can help restore people's gut health.

Our special guest is Martina Poletti, a PhD student at Quadram Institute (University of East Anglia, UK), where she researches how Bifidobacteria modulate autophagy in the gut. Martina holds a BSc in Biotechnology from the University of Pavia (Italy) and an MSc in Molecular Nutrition and Toxicology from Wageningen University (Netherlands).

Martina is also passionate about making science accessible to all. She has herself worked as a science communicator for the European Food Information Council based in Brussels, where she collaborated on European projects focused on nutrition, health and sustainability.
