In this session, two researchers will discuss their work on the impact of pesticides on the human gut microbiome, followed by a Q&A session where you can ask your own questions.

Meet the Speakers

Maaike Gerritse (Wageningen University & Research): As part of the SPRINT project, Maaike is completing her PhD on the human gut and nasal microbiome in relation to pesticide exposure. She also examines the direct effects of pesticides on human tissue using gut and lung organoids.
