Further, we think this approach can be applied to any system to build improved experimental models that allow for improved translation of lab findings.

Check it out and we welcome feedback!

Interestingly, we found this framework allowed us to validate if known microbe-microbe interactions were occurring in situ & build a highly accurate polymicrobial synthetic community.

We made iterative improvements to a polymicrobial wound model along two axes: community composition and host environment and gained key insights into the microbial dynamics of our system.
