Human and Animal Microbiome Engineering provides both basic and detailed information about microbiome engineering for the health enhancement of humans and animal populations. The book provides updated information about current research topics in this emerging field, including microbiome gene therapy, engineered probiotics, and smart living biotic machines for the release of therapeutics. The book is divided into 4 sections covering microbiome engineering application with a focus on future perspectives in human health and enhancement; microbiome engineering in human health and disease including real-world case studies; animal microbiome engineering essentials; and microbiome engineering for livestock improvement.

This is the perfect reference for researchers and scientists to further explore the relationship between host and microbiome and discover novel ideas about the concepts of microbiome engineering in the health enhancement of humans and animal populations.

Dr. Priyanka Sarkar completed her PhD in Bioengineering and Technology, jointly from Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST) and Gauhati University in 2019. After which, she completed her Post Doctoral training at Asian Healthcare Foundation, Asian Institute of Gastroenterology (AIG Hospitals). Since her PhD, her research has delved into the intricate relationship between the gut microbiome (the community of microorganisms residing in our gut) and its impact on human health, particularly focusing on chronic diseases and immune function. She has longstanding interests in decoding the cross-talk between gut microbiome and host health. She has published more than 12 research papers in these areas of research and has contributed to 4 book chapters and 2 review articles in the field of microbiome. She has been serving as a reviewer in many journals. She has been honoured with international and national awards for her research works [DST-SERB Core Research Grant (2021, as a co-PI), Young Scientist Awards (2021)]. She has successfully completed research projects from national funding agencies such as SERB-DST, and guided students for their doctoral and master's degrees.
