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. 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. We strive to use what we learn to improve human health though targeted microbial interventions, including prebiotics, probiotics, or other microbial therapeutics.
