About the Author
Raphael Dolin, MD, Maxwell Finland Professor of Medicine (Microbiology & Molecular Genetics), Harvard Medical School; Attending Physician, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts
Martin J. Blaser is the Henry Rutgers Chair of the Human Microbiome at Rutgers University, where he also holds professorships in Medicine and Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, and directs the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine. Prior to this, he was Chair of the Department of Medicine at New York University. As both a physician and microbiologist, Dr. Blaser has dedicated over three decades to exploring the complex relationships between humans and their long-term bacterial colonizers. His research initially centered on Campylobacter species and Helicobacter pylori, which serve as key models for studying host-microbe interactions. In the past 20 years, his focus has expanded to investigating how the human microbiome influences health and contributes to diseases such as asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes, neurological disorders, and cancer. Dr. Blaser has mentored numerous students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty members throughout his career. He holds 28 U.S. patents and has published more than 600 original scientific articles. Additionally, he is the author of the widely acclaimed book Missing Microbes, aimed at general readers and translated into 20 languages.
