  • The MMP is part of The Microbiome Center at UChicago, Argonne, and the Marine Biological Laboratory that brings together faculty working to understand the identity and function of microbes across ecosystems
  • The MMP leverages robust relationships to accelerate research – Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Gnotobiotic Research Animal Facility, clinical cohorts, Center for Interdisciplinary Study of Inflammatory Intestinal Disorders, Argonne, Marine Biological Laboratory, Institute for Translational Medicine, Center for Research Informatics, etc.
