Arnon D. Lieber, PhD

I am an instractor at the program for Biomedical Informatics at New York University, School of Medicine. I have a vast background in many different science fields, in microbiology and bioinformatics. During my PhD I was implamanting image processing for deeper understanding of cell motility and its modeling. During my postdoctorate fellowship I was studing the gut microbiome of mice and humans, uncovering bacterial transmission from one host to another.

Research Summary

My main goal is to study the ecological development of a microbial population after successful transfer to a new host. Specifically, I studied the transfer (inheritance) of microbes from mothers to their baby during delivery and the subsequent development of this newly establishing microbial community. In addition I am intrested in the interaction between host sex hormones and the development of gut microbiota
