Microbiome Research
Jack A Gilbert Lab
University of California San Diego
Pediatrics & Scripps Institution of Oceanography
A highly interdisciplinary group leading research in medical and environmental microbiology, microbial ecology, and biotechnology development.
Our work transcends microbiome studies across environmental and human health, with marine model organisms and ecosystems informing studies in human infectious disease, diet, and cardiometabolic, immune and mental health.
In the Gilbert Lab, we value the participation of every member of our community and want to ensure everyone has an enjoyable and fulfilling experience, both professionally and personally. To ensure that everyone in the lab knows the expectations and enjoys their time in the lab, we have created a Code of Conduct that helps every member understand expectations, how to handle conflict resolution, and how to engage in creating a supportive ecosystem for all.
