Fischbach, who is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering and of Microbiology and Immunology, and others saw one solution: Build a microbiome from scratch by growing individually and then mixing its constituent bacteria. They introduced hCom1 to mice that are carefully designed to have no bacteria present. Building the ark.
