1. Acquires a comprehensive understanding of the human microbiome, including its composition, diversity, and the dynamic interactions between microbial communities and the human host.
2. Develop advanced analytical skills in the evaluation and interpretation of microbiome data, utilizing techniques such as metagenomics and metatranscriptomics to analyze microbial communities at a taxonomic and functional level.
3. Explore the role of the microbiome in human diseases, ranging from infectious diseases to chronic conditions, and develop an understanding of the mechanisms by which microbial communities influence health and contribute to disease states.
4. Gain proficiency in integrating multi-omics data to examine complex microbial ecosystems, and understand the interconnectedness of genomics, transcriptomics, and other omics approaches in unraveling the functional aspects of the microbiome.
