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.

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.
