Postgraduate certificate Microbiota and the Immune System

Download brochure Brochure

The immune system is essential for maintaining the health of the body, and the microbiota plays a crucial role in its functioning. It is no coincidence that the number of bacteria present in the body is estimated to be 10 times greater than the number of human cells, highlighting the relevance of these microorganisms in each individual. For this reason, this qualification is a unique opportunity to delve into this topic, designed to offer a comprehensive and up-to-date view of the relationship between Microbiota and Immunity. Through its modules, it addresses the components of the immune system, Nutrition, lifestyle, and nervous system disorders, among other key points. Additionally, it is 100% online for the convenience of the student.

Introduction to the Program

Improve your knowledge in Microbiota and the Immune System through this program, where you will find the best teaching material with real clinical cases. Learn here about the latest advances in the specialty to be able to perform a quality medical practice"

Of all these, the most complicated, diverse and extensive is that associated with the digestive system: intestinal microbiota. These communities have a symbiotic and mutualistic behavior with human eukaryotic cells, are essential for the proper functioning of our body, maintain an important dialogue with the immune system and have homeostatic functions that condition our health.

Numerous pieces of scientific evidence have implicated the intestinal microbiome and its metabolic potential in various pathological conditions in recent years, giving rise to new therapeutic strategies to control and regulate this ecosystem. The study of this ecosystem is a field that is rapidly advancing scientifically, and it is universally accepted that to achieve an adequate state of health it is also necessary to have a "healthy" microbiota.

Our microbiota undergoes changes as a consequence of the influence of multiple factors, diet, lifestyle, pharmacological treatments..., generating alterations in this bacterial ecosystem; this abnormal interaction that the organism could have with it is related to certain processes: allergic, acute and chronic intestinal diseases, obesity and metabolic syndrome, neurological diseases, dermatitis and other alterations in the dermis and even some types of cancer.

This Postgraduate certificate in Microbiota and the Immune System provides ease of access to information and the interest that microbiota-related topics generate among the general population. This makes it necessary for health professionals to be up to date on all scientific advances in order to offer the patient more accurate information on the subject.

Through this Postgraduate certificate you would be able to guide the patient to help them recover and maintain the bacterial balance in order to maintain a good state of health, in addition to collaborating in a positive way with the medical treatment indicated.

Update your knowledge through the Postgraduate certificate in Microbiota and the Immune System"

This Postgraduate certificate in Microbiota and the Immune System contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features of the course are:
