University of California, San Diego Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla today announced the launch of the UC San Diego Microbiome and Microbial Sciences Initiative, a concerted research and education effort that will leverage the university's strengths in science, medicine, engineering and the humanities to produce a detailed understanding of microbiomes -- distinct constellations of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms that live within and around us -- and methods for manipulating them for the benefit of human health and the environment.
