A universal pipeline for functionally characterizing the human microbiota at a massive scale
An NIH-funded academic collaboration
Health From Within
The community of microorganisms in our gastrointestinal tract—the gut microbiota—is one of the densest and most diverse bacterial ecosystems that we know about. Today, we need more powerful tools and insights in order to unravel the intrinsic complexity of the relationship between humans and their microbiota—and how to harness this relationship to engineer human health.
“Predictably harness microbiomes for human health. That’s our ultimate goal.”
