Description

Quantifying composition and function of complex microbial systems is key to progress in understanding the important role that bacteria play in human health, from the gut microbiome to the global problem of anti-microbial resistance. Traditional microbial characterization approaches are often destructive, insufficient in resolution and sensitivity, and are subject to bias inherent in the measurement process. New methods for quantitative, in situ characterization are essential for gaining insight into microbial communities in their...

Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
