The Microbiome Centers Consortium discusses the emergence of microbiome centers

The Microbiome Centers Consortium discusses the importance of microbiome centers for overcoming future challenges and advancing the field in a Nature Microbiology commentary. The consortium emphasizes how a network of microbiome centers can enable knowledge-sharing across disciplines and around the world, serve as an entry point for researchers who are new to microbiome research, and become a communication hub for the public. NMDC’s mission is to make microbiome data discoverable, and long-term, empower researchers to advance the field. With a shared vision, NMDC joined the consortium and is a co-author of the article.
