Advancing the microbiome research community

Cell. 2014 Oct 9;159(2):227-30. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2014.09.022.

Abstract

The human microbiome has become a recognized factor in promoting and maintaining health. We outline opportunities in interdisciplinary research, analytical rigor, standardization, and policy development for this relatively new and rapidly developing field. Advances in these aspects of the research community may in turn advance our understanding of human microbiome biology.
