  • The NIH Human Microbiome Project Authors: the NIH HMP Working Group (
    Downloaded from genome.cshlp.org on October 5, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press The NIH Human Microbiome Project Authors: the NIH HMP Working Group (http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/hmp/members.asp) ABSTRACT: The Human Microbiome Project ( HMP), funded as an initiative of the NIH Roadmap for Biomedical Research (http://nihroadmap.nih.gov), is a multi-component community resource. The goals of the HMP are (1) to take advantage of new, high-throughput technologies to characterize the human microbiome more fully by studying samples from multiple body sites from each of at least 250 “normal” volunteers; (2) to determine whether there are associations between changes in the microbiome and health/disease by studying several different medical conditions; and (3) to provide both a standardized data resource and new technological approaches to enable such studies to be undertaken broadly in the scientific community. The ethical, legal, and social implications of such research are being systematically studied as well. The ultimate objective of the HMP is to demonstrate that there are opportunities to improve human health through monitoring or manipulation of the human microbiome. The history and implementation of this new program are described here. INTRODUCTION: It has been known for some time that the human body is inhabited by at least ten times more bacteria than the number of human cells in the body, and that the majority of those bacteria are found in the human gastrointestinal tract (Savage 1977). Throughout the history of microbiology, most human studies have focused on the disease-causing organisms found on or in people; fewer studies have examined the benefits of the resident bacteria.

  • Nature Medicine Essay
    LASKER~KOSHLAND SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENT IN MEDICAL SCIENCE AWARD COMMENTARY I never met a microbe I didn’t like Stanley Falkow At the age of 11, I read Paul de Kruif’s Microbe Hunters, which dramatized the discovery of bacteria and viruses and their roles in human disease. The heroes of Microbe Hunters—Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch and others—became my heroes, and I dreamed of becoming a bacte- riologist, doing research on the bacteria that cause disease. I was lucky enough to fulfill my boyhood dream; however, I could never have imagined the path I eventually followed, or how much my views of microbes and disease would change (and continue to do so) in the process. Of course, I did not make this journey alone. During the five decades I worked as an active scientist, I helped train over 100 graduate Figure 1 Lab alumni reunion in 2004, Falkow/Tompkins home, Hamilton, Montana, USA.
