| Abstract | With the support of the CLP program in the Division of Chemistry, Professor Crawford from Yale University is investigating the role of nucleotide inhibitors of protein translation that are encoded in microbiomes across diverse body sites. The microbiome of humans and other animals is now considered to be an organ-like system, digesting our food, regulating host behaviors, training the immune system, and producing diverse nutrients, signaling molecules, and/or toxins to effectively compete and su |
