Moore Lab

At Moore Lab, we study the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, the largest tissue interface of humans with their environment. The GI tract absorbs energy from food for growth and sustenance, and partners with—or defends against—trillions of gut microbes.

Specifically, we study the structure and function of the GI tract during childhood. We aim to make discoveries surrounding nutrition, growth, immunity, and host-microbe interactions.

Sometimes science is just so cool. In @NatureMedicine: The distribution of cellular turnover in the human body https://rdcu.be/cdKmM

The rate of turnover is 330 billion cells/day (4 million cells/second). 🤯 Blood cells make up about 90% by number but only 40% by mass.
