Get Involved

We believe understanding the microbiome is essential to prevent and treat diseases that are rising worldwide — and that collaborating across institutions and sectors is key to accelerating progress.

We seek to connect people, techniques, and technologies to accelerate the advent of microbiome-based approaches to improve public health.

If you would like to collaborate, sponsor a research project, or connect to our network of scientists, engineers, and clinicians, please email humanmicrobiome@mit.edu or fill out a contact form through one of the links below.
