Jeremiah Faith received his PhD in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology from Boston University. He did his postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Jeffrey Gordon at Washington University in St. Louis Medical School with a focus on the structure and function of the gut microbiome in healthy individuals. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Precision Immunology Institute and the Icahn Institute for Data Science and Genomic Technology in the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. His research focuses on modeling the interactions between gut microbes and host physiology with an emphasis on Inflammatory Bowel Disease and cancer. Ongoing research in the lab includes: 1) understanding the influence of gut microbiota strain variation on human disease risk, 2) identifying microbial strains that modulate host phenotypic variation, 3) the stability of the human gut microbiota, and 4) phase I microbiome-based therapeutics.
