The human body is home to trillions of microorganisms of thousands of different species, with the largest number located in the gastrointestinal tract also known as the gut. Technology is allowing a faster identification of these microbes and with evidence mounting of the health significance of the microbiome, it's more necessary than ever for health professionals and students to acquire comprehensive knowledge about this topic to effectively navigate and contribute to the evolving healthcare landscape. This project was born with the aim of creating an animation to allow health students to visualise the gut microbiome and learn about its composition and functions in the human body.
