MISSION
The objective of the UC-Denver Microbiome Research Consortium (MiRC) is to facilitate collaborative, innovative studies of the human-microbe interface (the "microbiome" at the University of Colorado and at-large. MiRC provides the expertise and infrastructure required for all facets of microbiome research. From bedside to bench to bioinformatics. Our projects have explored the roles played by human-associated microbes in diverse human conditions including:
|
|
- Mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1
|
- Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
|
|
- Ventilator Associated Pneumonia
|
- Staphylococcus areus colonization
|
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
|
|
|
|
|
- Children's Interstitial Lung Diseases
|
|
|
|
|
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease
|
|
These studies have been carried out in the U.S. and in resource-limited countries.
