Jeffrey I. Gordon studies the human gut microbiome, focusing on how the collection of microbes living in our intestines affects health, especially in the context of childhood malnutrition. His group combines gnotobiotic mice (mice raised germ-free and then given specific microbial communities), genomic analysis of gut bacteria, and clinical studies to design and test microbiome-directed therapeutic foods aimed at improving growth and gut function in undernourished children.
