Research summary
AI-generated

Nathan W. Schmidt studies how the gut microbiome (the community of bacteria living in the intestine) influences the body's response to malaria and other infections. The research explores how factors such as intestinal barrier function, inflammation, and diet-related bacteria affect susceptibility to disease, and also examines antimicrobial and membrane-interacting peptides that can fight or interact with microbes. Work spans laboratory mouse models, human clinical samples, and biochemical studies of peptide behavior.
