CHAPTER

Moving from Association to Mechanistic Studies

This chapter explores the trend in gut microbiome research to shift from association studies to mechanistic studies, emphasizing the importance of understanding the underlying mechanisms for developing effective therapeutics or diagnostics. The speakers give an example of how the association between a specific bacteria and an autoimmune marker does not explain the underlying cause. They discuss the significance of using both animal models and human observations to gain a deeper understanding of the gut microbiome.
