Curtis Huttenhower

Dr. Curtis Huttenhower is an associate professor of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics in the Biostatistics Department at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and director of the Huttenhower Lab. His research focuses on understanding the function of microbial communities, particularly that of the human microbiome in health and disease. This work entails a combination of computational methods development for wrangling large data collections, as well as biological analyses and laboratory experiments to link the microbiome in human populations to specific microbiological mechanisms.
