Award to develop non-human primate models for human microbiome traits by generating baseline data to support microbiome research and clinical translation.
Description
This project aims to develop non-human primates as models for microbiome research, focusing on identifying the best species for modeling human gut microbiome traits. The project involves generating baseline microbiome and physiological data from humans and five non-human primate species. The goal is to facilitate future research on host-microbe interactions and accelerate translation into clinical applications.
