Developing Microbiome-Directed Therapeutics for Treating Childhood Undernutrition

In this program, Dr. Jeffrey Gordon, Director of the Edison Family Center for Genome Sciences & Systems Biology at Washington University and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography's 2024 recipient of the Nierenberg Prize for Science in the Public Interest, discusses his research into the microbiome. Gordon is credited with founding the field of gut microbiome research. His transformative studies have demonstrated that human health and disease are shaped by the communities of microbes that live in the human gut. His body of work has opened up the vast new therapeutic potential for the microbiome, exemplified by his identification of ways to repair the gut microbiomes of children with malnutrition and restore their healthy growth.
