Program Snapshot
The Common Fund's Human Microbiome Project (HMP) aims to characterize the microbial communities found at several different sites on the human body, including nasal passages, oral cavities, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urogenital tract, and to analyze the role of these microbes in human health and disease. HMP includes the following initiatives.
- Development of a reference set of microbial genome sequences and preliminary characterization of the human microbiome
- Elucidation of the relationship between disease and changes in the human microbiome
- Development of new technologies for computational analysis
- Development of new tools for computational analysis
- Establishment of a data analysis and coordinating center (DACC)
- Establishment of resource repositories
- Examination of the ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) of HMP research
- Evaluation of Multi-‘omic Data in Understanding the Human Microbiome’s Role in Health and Disease
