Dr. Bart Weimer

Biography

 Dr. Weimer's laboratory group at the School of Veterinary Medicine focuses on microbial physiology and function. Research on host/microbe interactions has led to the elucidation of the competitive binding of beneficial bacteria to the gut epithelium and the resulting displacement of pathogenic bacteria such as salmonella. Using genomics and functional genomics gene expression, metabolomics, proteomics, and metagenomics Dr. Weimer's program examines the mechanisms of gene interplay to produce a specific phenotype and the metabolism involved in the process.
