Welcome to the Vaginal Microbiome Consortium at VCU!
We are a group of researchers studying the impact of the vaginal microbiome on women’s health. The VMC is a highly interdisciplinary team in which clinicians, microbiologists, computational biologists, bioinformaticists, statisticians, genomic scientists, and human geneticists work collaboratively to analyze, interpret and publish our findings. Thousands of women have already contributed samples and information to the VMC. Both of our ongoing studies at VCU:
- Multi’Omic Microbiome Study-Pregnancy Initiative and
- Vaginal Human Microbiome Project
are funded through the Human Microbiome Project (HMP), an NIH Common Fund Initiative. […]
