This award funds research to develop computational models for understanding microbial metabolic interactions in the infant gut microbiome, integrating multi-scale data to predict microbial growth dynamics and metabolic phenotypes.
Description
The project aims to develop computational models describing multi-scale processes linking genes to metabolic functions and microbial interactions, focusing on the infant gut microbiome. It integrates data across microbiome, community, and microbe scales to understand microbial interactions and metabolic functions, emphasizing open-source tools and broad data sharing.
