This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) provides $422,931 to characterize the role of specialized metabolites in mediating interactions within the human microbiome. The research aims to elucidate how metabolite-driven community dynamics influence antimicrobial susceptibility, with the goal of improving understanding of microbiome function and resilience. The 5-year project, running from July 2025 to April 2030, will be conducted by the University of Colorado-Denver, a major public research university and federal grant recipient. The research will integrate computational analysis of metabolomics data with in vitro models to investigate novel microbial community chemistry that contributes to antimicrobial resistance.
