Insights into microbiome research 6: The role of consortia in studying the role of microbes in health and disease
Abstract
Consortia are large, multidisciplinary research efforts that carry the power of numbers. In addition, they enable the sharing of protocols and strategies, ultimately resulting in credible, reproducible, and groundbreaking discoveries. Several consortia are currently investigating the role of bacteria in health and disease, including the International Multiple Sclerosis Microbiome Study (iMSMS), whose effort is dedicated to multiple sclerosis.
