Yeonjeong Seo has completed her Bachelor’s degree in Food Engineering from Dongguk University in Korea. Currently, she is pursuing her Master's degree in Food Microbiology at Korea University, and studying probiotics and gut microbiota. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for human’s health, especially digestive system. When people lose good bacteria in the body like after taking antibiotics, for example, probiotics can help replace them. They can help balance good and bad bacteria to keep the body working like it should. She is trying to figure out exactly how probiotics work for human body and diseases.
