Researchers

The MiaGB consortium is one of the largest efforts of several pioneer scientists in the microbiome and aging research to develop a deeper understanding of how the microbiome impacts our gut, brain, and muscle health. A team of multidisciplinary investigators is combining powerful multi-omics using cutting-edge technologies of metagenomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, genotyping, immunophenomics, mitochondrial function, and artificial intelligence to develop a unique resource and databank for the microbiome in aging researchers.
