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.
Faculty
Research on microbiomes is being conducted in about 50 UC Irvine labs across campus. Learn more about faculty whose labs currently have ongoing research or collaborations involving microbiomes.
Research
While human and environmental microbiomes have traditionally been studied separately, UC Irvine researchers have already begun to bridge the gap, opening up new possibilities for improving our health and the planet’s.
Resources
Find information and learn how to stay on track with resources such as consulting, monthly meetings, facilities, services, research fellowships, grant resources, workshops and web resources.
