BME 6130
Advanced Microbiome Engineering

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

The human microbiome touches upon every organ system and contributes to a wide range of disorders. Manipulating the human microbiome is becoming a new paradigm of treating disease. These efforts range from modifying the genomes of organisms or the composition of organisms in the gut, developing designer phage or personalized cocktails of organisms, engineering live bacterial biosensors, and bioprospecting within the gut microbiome for bioactive compounds. In this course, we will discuss new engineering tools and techniques for achieving new diagnostic or therapeutic outcomes. The course will be heavily based on reviewing recently published primary articles. Discussions will involve topics related to molecular and tissue engineering, and systems and synthetic biology.
