Maria Gloria Dominguez-Bello is the Henry Rutgers Professor of Microbiome and Health at Rutgers University. She is affiliated to the Departments of Biochemistry and Microbiology, and of Anthropology. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology, and of the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA), a member of the Editorial Board and reviewer at several scientific journals. Her work centers on the microbiome and impacts exerted by urban practices, including practices that impair early life microbiota transmission and colonization -such as C-sections- and studying changes on microbiomes across urbanization gradients. She has published extensively on symbiosis, impacts of modern practices on microbiomes and strategies for restoration. She also is a cofounder of the Microbiota Vault, a global initiative to preserve the diversity of the microbes relevant to human health.
