サンドリン・ミラー=モンゴメリー博士プロフィール
Dr. Miller-Montgomery is the executive director of the Center for
Microbiome Innovation. She leads a team focused on expanding industry
and academic collaborations in the field of microbiome research. She
comes directly from industry and has worked in large biotech and
multinational companies as well as start-ups. Most recently, she was
leading MO BIO Labs, a biotech focused on nucleic acid purification.

Rob Knight is the founding Director of the Center for Microbiome Innovation and Professor of Pediatrics and Computer
Science & Engineering at UC San Diego. Before that, he was Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry and Computer
Science in the BioFrontiers Institute of the University of Colorado at Boulder, and an HHMI Early Career Scientist. He is
a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the American Academy of Microbiology.
He received the 2017 Massry Prize for his microbiome research. In 2015 he received the Vilceck Prize in Creative
Promise for the Life Sciences. He is the author of “Follow Your Gut: The Enormous Impact of Tiny Microbes” (Simon &
Schuster, 2015), coauthor of “Dirt is Good: The Advantage of Germs for Your Child’ s Developing Immune System (St.
Martin’ s Press, 2017) and spoke at TED in 2014. His lab has produced many of the software tools and laboratory
techniques that enabled high-throughput microbiome science, including the QIIME pipeline (cited ~8000 times as of
this writing) and UniFrac (cited ~5000 times). He is co-founder of the Earth Microbiome Project, the American Gut
Project, and the company Biota, Inc., which uses DNA from microbes in the subsurface to guide oilfield decisions. His
work has linked microbes to a range of health conditions including obesity and inflammatory bowel disease, has
enhanced our understanding of microbes in environments ranging from the oceans to the tundra, and made
high-throughput sequencing techniques accessible to thousands of researchers around the world. Dr. Knight can be
