SUMMARY

The Britton Lab is investigating the impact of human gut microbiome on infant health. Using animal models, the Britton Lab has demonstrated that fecal microbial transplants from infants can transfer infant phenotypes into animals. The Lab is applying computational approaches to discern which microbes and microbial products are responsible for transferring infant phenotypes to animals. For this project, we are looking for an experienced Data Analyst Associate to contribute to the analysis and modeling of human, animal, and microbial data sets.
