Are you Rob Knight? Claim this pageMicrobiologist and bioengineer, founding director of the Center for Microbiome Innovation at UC San Diego, and co-founder of the American Gut Project and the Earth Microbiome Project. He built many of the computational tools that made modern microbiome science possible.
His lab created the software and lab methods behind high-throughput microbiome research — the QIIME analysis pipeline and the UniFrac method for comparing communities — and ran citizen-science efforts (the American Gut Project) that mapped how diet, especially the number of different plants eaten each week, shapes gut diversity. His work links the microbiome to obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, and much more.
Make the microbiome measurable — build the tools and reference maps to read the trillions of microbes we carry, then connect that data to diet and disease so it can actually guide health.
