We're looking for opinions about a new research project that we are planning
The microbiome refers to a community of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses) that that live in or on a particular part of the body. Although not visible to the human eye, they contribute to human health. For example, the gut microbiome plays a vital role in breaking down food and absorbing nutrients.
Recent research has suggested interactions between the microbiome in the female reproductive tract and reproductive health, including fertility problems. We are planning a study to investigate this further, using metagenomics to sequence and characterise the microbiome in fertile and infertile people. We hope that this research can lead to improved understanding of how the microbiome affects fertility, as well as interventions to optimise the microbiome for better reproductive outcomes.
Thank you for answering a few questions and sharing your opinions about our proposed study
