Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry students uncover gut microbiota mysteries with Tunghai University Professor
- 28/02/2025
The seminar "Exploring the Gut Microbiota: From Function to Application" took students from HUTECH’s Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry on a fascinating journey into the world of gut microbiota, led by Prof. Yuan-Man Hsu from Tunghai University.
This specialized seminar provided students with essential insights into the role and impact of microorganisms on both human and animal health. Conducted entirely in English, the event not only deepened their expertise but also helped enhance their language skills and access to international research materials.
During the session, Prof. Yuan-Man Hsu discussed the development of gut microbiota from the fetal stage to adulthood. She emphasized that gut microbiota is not just a collection of bacteria but a complex ecosystem that plays a crucial role in immune regulation and overall health. She explained that microbiota formation begins in the womb and continues to evolve throughout life, influenced by diet, environment, and antibiotic use.
Prof. Yuan-Man Hsu shares insights on the impact of microbiota on human and animal health
Notably, Prof. Hsu introduced research on Lactobacillus Rhamnosus JB3, a bacterium capable of inhibiting Helicobacter pylori infection—the primary cause of gastric diseases. She provided a detailed explanation of how this bacterium interacts with the immune system to help the body combat harmful pathogens. This research not only opens new avenues for treating stomach-related diseases but also underscores the significance of microbiota in modern medicine.

The study on Lactobacillus Rhamnosus JB3 was thoroughly presented to the students
Additionally, she highlighted the importance of using probiotics and prebiotics to generate postbiotics, which help strengthen gut microbiota. She explained that supplementing beneficial bacteria and prebiotic fiber can improve gut health, thereby boosting immune resistance—a particularly crucial factor as digestive health issues become increasingly prevalent.
The workshop motivated students to explore new research opportunities in the future
Beyond the academic insights, the seminar fostered an engaging learning environment. Students actively participated in discussions, posed questions, and exchanged ideas, demonstrating their enthusiasm for scientific research. The multilingual interaction in English, Chinese, and Japanese further sharpened their critical thinking and communication skills. With expert-led knowledge and practical applications, the seminar provided students with a strong foundation for their future careers in biomedical sciences while inspiring them to pursue further research in this field.
