Discovering Universal Principles About
Microbiomes Across All Systems

A Cross-discipline Collaboration

Welcome to UC Irvine Microbiome Center

Microbial communities–microbiomes–in our soil, oceans, and bodies have a lot in common. But current microbiome research is not well coordinated among disciplines. UC Irvine Microbiome seeks to create cross-discipline collaboration to discover universal principles about microbiomes across all systems. The Center is supported by the Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences, the School of Medicine, and the Office of Research.
