For this month’s Levy CIMAR Science Meeting, we are excited to hear from Kyongbum Lee, PhD, (Professor & Chair of Chemical & Biological Engineering at the Tufts School of Engineering) on “Using Metabolomics to Investigate Gut Bacterial Microbiota Dependent Factors of C. difficile Infection.” Dr. Lee and his lab are interested in the study of cellular metabolism and its role in shaping biological function. A major ongoing effort is to investigate metabolites that mediate chemical communication between bacterial gut microbiota and the host. You can learn more about Dr. Lee and his research here.
