The ecology and function of the unseen microbial world is hard to study because of its scale and complexity. We develop wet-lab and dry-lab technologies that unravel microbial genetic diversity and function at the whole-genome and systems level. Our mission is to build predictive AI models that can help us design synthetic communities with new functions.

Identifying gut microbial hallmarks of healthy aging

Shotgun metagenomics data for >200 healthy Asian octogenerians helped us identify key gut microbial hallmarks of healthy aging, including some that are only consistently seen in Asian cohorts!
