Researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa have been awarded $10.7 million from the National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) to study how human health is impacted by exposure to microbes, how microbiomes are impacted by environmental and social-economic gradients in Hawaiʻi, and how an animal's microbiome confers persistent health (using invertebrate hosts). 'We want to develop the best and the brightest of the next generation of researchers that are experts in studying environmental microbiomes and their interaction with humans,' said Principal Investigator Anthony Amend, a professor with the Pacific Biosciences Research Center ( PBRC ).
