CMIT Alumni Profile: Sean Gibbons, PhD

After witnessing the tangible impact human gut microbiome research had for patients and families, Gibbons has focused his own laboratory on understanding how the unique composition of an individual’s gut microbiome impacts health and well-being.

A Library of Human Gut Bacterial Isolates Paired with Longitudinal Multiomics Data Enables Mechanistic Microbiome Research

The Broad Institute and OpenBiome Microbiome Library (BIO-ML) now supplies a comprehensive collection of nearly 8,000 intestinal bacterial isolates, paired with nearly 4,000 genome sequences, to serve as an open access investigational resource.
