Research

CMIT unites scientists, engineers, and clinicians across a variety of disciplines to develop improved methods of disease prevention, surveillance, and treatment.

We want to support research and clinical trials that will help us learn how to engineer the microbiome to help patients and restore health. These efforts are supported by our strong foundation of resources: the Microbial Omics Core Facility, Data Analysis Pipeline, and bacterial culture collections, including the Broad Institute-OpenBiome Microbiome Library.
