Who We Are

This position is housed in the Integrative Microbiome Research lab:

• The human microbiome is an entire ecosystem of microscopic organisms that live on our skin and inside our body. These microbes are integrated into our immune, digestive, and nervous systems, and are critical to our overall wellbeing. At the Integrative Microbiome Research Laboratory, we aim to increase our understanding of the human microbiome and its connections to our physiology, and to apply our findings to improve human health.

• Our research laboratory uses cutting edge computer-based analysis and experimental techniques to study the microbiome. We specialize in "omics" methods, including metagenomics and metabolomics, which use state-of-the-art instruments to study entire microbial communities simultaneously.
