Dr. Huttenhower was an analysis lead in the National Institutes of Health Human Microbiome Project and currently co-leads the “HMP2” Center for Characterizing the Gut Microbial Ecosystem in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. His lab focuses on computational methods for functional analysis of microbial communities. This includes systems biology reconstructions integrating metagenomic, metatranscriptomic, and other microbial community omics, the human microbiome in autoimmune disease such as inflammatory bowel disease, and its potential as a diagnostic tool and point of therapeutic intervention.
