The University of California San Diego (UC San Diego) Center for Microbiome Innovation (CMI) is proud to announce eCyte, Inc., a leader in single-cell metabolic phenotyping, as a new industry partner. This partnership will empower CMI researchers with a novel tool for profiling microbiome metabolic function at single-cell resolution, and for mining microbial resources for…
A recent breakthrough study reveals how transformer technology can predict human age from microbial communities with 28% greater accuracy than previous methods. The human microbiome—the vast community of microorganisms living in and on our bodies—undergoes profound changes as we age, influencing metabolism, immune function, and disease risk. These microbial shifts follow somewhat predictable patterns, creating…
Figure 2: Aspects of Prevotella and Faecalibacterium at different levels of resolution highlight the complexity of diet-microbe associations, each showing ties with many dietary variables, but varying in direction and strength by country. Analysis shows bacterial strains and geography are critical for understanding personalized nutrition The relationship between what we eat and the trillions of…
To accelerate the development of innovative microbiome-based solutions for human health and well-being, the Center for Microbiome Innovation (CMI) at the University of California San Diego (UC San Diego) is forging a partnership with global consumer health company Haleon. This partnership will unite CMI’s world-class microbiome expertise with Haleon’s state-of-the-art science and clinical capabilities and…

With cases continuing to surge across the US, it is clear that we need a different approach.
Researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine have received a $6.1 million grant to launch a new Center of Excellence in Therapeutics to study the effects of medications on…
Some scientists have called it “superhuman immunity” or “bulletproof.” But immunologist Shane Crotty prefers “hybrid immunity.”
