\nRésumé :
\nEnvironmental microbial exposures are th
 ought to play a key role in asthma and allergies\, including both benefici
 al and predisposing effects\, but causal relationships remain to be proven
 . The advance of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) approaches has revolutio
 nized our understanding of microbial communities and their role in human h
 ealth and disease. The hope is to reach similar advances by applying this 
 toolbox to indoor studies on asthma and allergy. This presentation will su
 mmarize work carried out in our research group in Kuopio on indoor microbi
 ota in farming homes and in moisture damaged buildings\, representing such
  beneficial and predisposing scenarios. A chamber study carried out with a
  robotic baby will illustrate limitations and challenges in exposure asses
 sment when trying to understand inhaled microbial exposure early in life. 
 Finally\, this talk will briefly outline our efforts in trying to develop 
 current knowledge into asthma and allergy protective interventions.

 érencier : 
\nDr. Martin Täubel is senior researcher at the Environmenta
 l Health Unit\, National Institute for Health and Welfare in Kuopio\, Finl
 and. He is leading the Indoor Air team\, which is one of the worldwide lea
 ding groups in research on indoor microbial exposures and associated healt
 h effects\, integrating expertise in microbiology\, exposure assessment\, 
 epidemiology and health. Dr. Täubel has been working in the context of mi
 crobiology of the built environment for over ten years. His current resear
 ch focuses on investigating the links between the environment\, indoor mic
 robiota and beneficial and adverse health outcomes in asthma and allergy.
