He is also the lead scientist of the Microbiome Laboratory and a research scientist at the Children Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba (CHRIM) and Canadian Centre for Agri-Food Research in Health and Medicine (CCARM). Khafipour’s laboratory uses cutting-edge sequencing technologies, combined with bioinformatics and statistical approaches, to link the composition, function, and dynamics of microbiomes in the gut, vaginal tract, and mammary system with individuals’ diet, lifestyle factors, and health/disease status. His goal is to move from the current one-size-fits-all recommendations for prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases in food-producing animals toward personalized and precision nutrition and veterinary medicine.
