Center for Advanced Microbiome Research & Innovation (CAMRI): A Leader in Microbiome Science
The Center for Advanced Microbiome Research and Innovation (CAMRI) launched in 2025 to recognize the extensive expertise in microbiome science and microbial genomics within the Institute for Genome Sciences (IGS) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. CAMRI serves as a hub for pioneering microbiome research—bridging foundational science with translational applications to improve health outcomes.
With strength in women’s and infant’s health, CAMRI faculty study the microbiome’s role in vaginal health, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and preterm birth, as well as the gut microbiome’s role in organ transplantation and infant health.
