Peter Turnbaugh

Peter Turnbaugh is a scientist specializing in the study of the gut microbiome—the community of trillions of bacteria living in our digestive systems. His research explores how these microbes influence our health, including metabolism, weight, and disease. By understanding the interactions between humans and their gut bacteria, he aims to develop new ways to treat and prevent health issues through diet, probiotics, and personalized medicine. Turnbaugh’s work helps reveal how the microscopic organisms in our intestines impact overall well-being and disease prevention.
