Dr. Daniel Segrè at the White House
Dr. Daniel Segrè, a Professor of Biology and Biomedical Engineering, and a member of the Bioinformatics program, recently attended an event at the White House as part of the launch of the National Microbiome Initiative by the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy. This event coincides with BU’s own microbiome initiative, which will be launched with a Fall 2016 conference: Microbes at Multiple Scales: From Genes to the Biosphere. These initiatives will involve modeling microbial systems, environmental and human health impacts, and applying the techniques of synthetic biology to microbiome research.
