A research project funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to develop a microbial-based platform for assessing organ damage in alcohol use disorders by integrating microbiota and host data using machine learning, aiming to improve risk assessment and interventions.
Description
This project aims to identify alcohol enterotypes through microbiome-host data integration using machine learning and develop a web-based knowledge module to map microbial signatures involved in alcohol-related organ damage. The study will provide insights into the role of dysbiosis in alcohol-induced organ damage and support personalized interventions targeting the microbiota.
