The one-year grants are supported by UB’s Community of Excellence in Genome, Environment and Microbiome, an interdisciplinary group comprised of faculty and staff. The projects will explore how the relationship between the human body and microorganisms that reside on or within it affect an individual’s risk for certain diseases.
“Changes in the genome — our own or those of the microbes in, on or around us — have a tremendous impact on human health and our environment,” said Jennifer Surtees, PhD, GEM co-director and associate professor in the department of biochemistry in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at UB. “With these newest projects, UB scientists from across disciplines have come together to dig deeper into these changes and to help establish the infrastructure necessary for advanced precision medicine.”
