Microbiome
Labs studying the microbiome
Hill Lab
The Hill Lab studies how gut microbes impact the pancreas. Their research has implications for Type I Diabetes, pancreatic cancer, and fetal pancreas development. Their goal is to develop microbially-derived treatments to prevent or reverse disease.
Krauter Lab
The Krauter Lab probes the relationship between human microbial populations and human development and disease. They combine genetic analyses, environmental assessments and high-throughput DNA sequence classification of microbes in the mouth and gut to examine how microbes may respond to and be responsible for normal and disease states.
Link Lab
The Link Lab examines the cellular and molecular basis of age-associated neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. They focus on the mechanisms by which specific proteins central to these diseases induce pathology.
Olm Lab
The Olm Lab is uncovering why immune diseases such as allergies and type I diabetes are so prevalent in industrialized societies by integrating computational biology and immunology to study the infant gut microbiome.
