UMD Microbiome Center

The University of Maryland Center of Excellence in Microbiome Sciences joins faculty, postdoctoral scholars and graduate students from across campus in pursuit of a deeper understanding of complex microbial communities, and how those microbiomes interact with each other and with our ecosystem.

The center’s researchers come from UMD’s College of Agriculture & Natural Resources; College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences; and A. James Clark School of Engineering, as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The center receives administrative and technical support from the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS)..
