The Whiteson lab studies human associated microbial and viral communities. We use metagenomics, metabolomics, microbiology and ecological statistics to answer questions about how microbes and viruses affect human health.

Check out the UCI Microbiome website!

Here is a link to the UCI Culinary Health series focussed on recipes that cultivate a healthy microbiome with Dr. Katrine Whiteson and Chef Jessica VanRoo. In Winter 2024 UCI Fiber Force intervention was a big success, results coming soon. We are now recruiting for a Microbiome & Fiber intervention in Breast Cancer Survivors Info here: https://tinyurl.com/Spring2024MicrobiomeFiberStudy & Prescreening here: https://redcap.link/cyxkyx0z
