About this course

A clearer view of gut microbiome function than population count is metabolite analysis.
Our gut microbiome produces a wide range of chemicals and these are tremendously useful markers of activity. A good understanding of metabolite interpretation is an invaluable addition to our other examination or testing that you’re doing for gut function.

Dr Alena Pribyl PhD. has extensive expertise in microbiology, molecular biology, and human microbiome research and presents a practical insight into how microbial metabolites can assist you identify gut microbiome function, especially as it relates to inflammatory diseases.

Microbial metabolites such as indole propionic acid, trimethylamine, butyrate, and branch chain amino acids are discussed in detail and their levels in healthy individuals in contrast to specific illnesses is very interesting and valuable information. Alena explains that the types and levels of these metabolites can be shaped by various factors including dietary choices, particularly fibre intake, which in turn affects balance and function of the gut microbiome.

This presentation underscores the value of integrating microbial metabolite analysis into your patient gut microbiome assessments. Leveraging these metagenomic sequencing technologies, enables the identification of not only which microbial species are present in the gut, but also what metabolic functions they are capable of performing. This provides a more comprehensive understanding of how an individual’s gut microbiome may be contributing to their condition and offers actionable information for personalised dietary and therapeutic intervention.

Dr Alena Pribyl PhD.

Dr Alena Pribyl is a distinguished microbiologist and researcher specialising in gut microbiome science and its applications to human health. With extensive expertise in microbial ecology, genomics, and bioinformatics, she has established herself as a leading authority in translating complex microbiome research into practical health insights.

Dr Pribyl earned her Ph.D. in Microbial Ecology from the University of Queensland, where her groundbreaking research on marine microbial communities provided new frameworks for understanding microbial ecosystems. She subsequently expanded her expertise to the human microbiome, with particular focus on gut microbial functions and their influence on systemic health outcomes.

Throughout her career, Dr Pribyl has led innovative research projects examining the relationship between gut microbiome composition and various health conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic disorders, and mental health. Her work has been published in prestigious journals including Nature Microbiology, Cell Host & Microbe, and Genome Biology.

As a sought-after speaker and educator, Dr Pribyl regularly presents at international scientific conferences and has developed training programs for healthcare professionals on interpreting microbiome data. She serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Microbiome Research and as an advisor to several health technology startups.

Alena's commitment to advancing public understanding of microbiome science has made her a valued expert for media outlets and health organisations seeking clear, evidence-based information on this rapidly evolving field.
