The Holmes Lab

The Holmes Lab delves into gut microbiology, examining how diet influences gut microbes and its implications for human health. We explore the reasons behind why some individuals can lose weight while others struggle. Our research also focuses on integrons, horizontal gene transfer, and the role of copper membrane monooxygenases in impacted environments. The lab's work has applications in monitoring climate change and bioremediation. Our dedicated team comprises post-doctoral researchers and PhD students, all passionate about advancing microbiological research.
