Overview

Peter J. Turnbaugh is affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco in the United States. Their research spans several intersecting fields including biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine, with a particular focus on molecular biology, physiology, infectious diseases, oncology, and genetics as subfields of study.

Their body of work heavily explores the relationship between the gut microbiota and health, as well as diet and metabolism studies. Specific topics of interest also include Clostridium difficile and Clostridium perfringens research, probiotics and fermented foods, drug transport and resistance mechanisms, metabolomics and mass spectrometry studies, and microbial metabolic engineering and bioproduction.

Turnbaugh has published extensively, with many papers appearing in high-impact journals and notable publication venues. Frequent publication outlets include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), SSRN Electronic Journal, Cell, Cell Host & Microbe, and Nature.

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Turnbaugh include:

  • Ketogenic Diets Alter the Gut Microbiome Resulting in Decreased Intestinal Th17 Cells, 2020, Cell
  • Human gut bacteria produce ΤΗ17-modulating bile acid metabolites, 2022, Nature
  • Reporting guidelines for human microbiome research: the STORMS checklist, 2021, Nature Medicine
  • Human gut bacterial metabolism drives Th17 activation and colitis, 2021, Cell Host & Microbe
  • Dissecting the contribution of host genetics and the microbiome in complex behaviors, 2021, Cell

Collaborations form an important part of their research output. Frequent co-authors include Jordan E. Bisanz, Margaret Alexander, Vaibhav Upadhyay, Cecilia Noecker, and Kai Trepka.
