Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Olm is an Assistant Professor and microbiome scientist with a decade of experience integrating metagenomics, immunology, and data science to understand how industrialization reshapes infant gut microbiome assembly. He leads the Integrative Microbiome Research Lab at CU Boulder and translates basic discoveries into practical interventions while consulting for early-stage microbiome companies. His work includes high-impact publications (Science, Cell) and development of field-standard computational tools from his Berkeley PhD lab—packages downloaded over 150,000 times—and a strain-resolution assay (MIg-Seq) to map antibody-microbe interactions. Based in Boulder, he combines deep computational expertise with hands-on immunology and a track record of turning global cohort insights into actionable strategies for infant health.
