- Observation | Therapeutics and PreventionTiny Earth: A Big Idea for STEM Education and Antibiotic Discovery
The world faces two seemingly unrelated challenges—a shortfall in the STEM workforce and increasing antibiotic resistance among bacterial pathogens. We address these two challenges with Tiny Earth, an undergraduate research course that excites students about science and creates a pipeline for antibiotic discovery.
- Research ArticleImpact of Dietary Resistant Starch on the Human Gut Microbiome, Metaproteome, and Metabolome
This work was undertaken to obtain a mechanistic understanding of the complex interplay between diet and the microorganisms residing in the intestine. Although it is known that gut microbes play a key role in digestion of the food that we consume, the specific contributions of different microorganisms are not well understood. In addition, the metabolic pathways and resultant products of metabolism during digestion are highly complex. To...
