Jeffrey I. Gordon is the Dr. Robert J. Glaser Distinguished University Professor and Director of The Edison Family Center for Genome Sciences & Systems Biology at Washington University School of Medicine. He is considered to be the "father" of human microbiome research. His studies of healthy and undernourished children living in low- and middle-income countries have yielded insights about how the gut microbiome develops in the first several years after birth, and evidence that disrupted gut microbiome development is a contributing cause of childhood undernutrition.
