Research Focus
Dr. Jonas Schluter's lab at NYU School of Medicine is focused on understanding how the human gut microbiome relates to health and disease, especially in cancer patients. They study how the microbiome can influence drug effectiveness and how certain microbes may compete with harmful pathogens. Using advanced data analysis techniques, including machine learning, the lab aims to uncover new ways to engineer beneficial changes in the microbiome for therapeutic purposes.
