👥Biography 个人简介

Peter Turnbaugh is a leader in pharmacomicrobiomics, demonstrating how gut bacteria metabolize cancer drugs, influence their bioavailability and toxicity, and thereby affect treatment outcomes. His mechanistic studies on microbial biotransformation of chemotherapeutics and immunotherapies have revealed that microbiome composition can predict drug response and side effects. His work on obesity-associated microbiome changes connects metabolic status to both cancer risk and pharmacological outcomes.
