Funded Activity Summary

From a descriptive to a predictive understanding of the human microbiome. Microorganisms inhabit every imaginable environment on Earth. Despite advances in characterising microbial communities, our understanding is largely descriptive and a detailed appreciation of their complexity eludes us. This Laureate project aims to transform microbial ecology into a predictive science, through intensive investigation of the human gut microbiome as a model ecosystem. Major challenges in microbiology are expected to be overcome, with new knowledge for predicting how microorganisms influence, and are influenced by, their environment. Ultimately this knowledge can help us manipulate microbial communities in diverse ecosystems to our advantage – protecting the planet’s natural assets, and improving agriculture and human health.
