Laura Grieneisen is a Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of British Columbia's Okanagan campus. Her research focuses on host-microbiome interactions within wild systems, utilizing microbial ecology to explore how an individual's genetics, social behaviors, and ecological factors influence gut microbiome composition and, subsequently, host health. A significant aspect of her work investigates the dynamics of the microbiome over time and aims to address the gaps in understanding the forces that shape these microbial communities. By studying wild animal systems, her research provides unique insights into these processes, contributing to a broader knowledge of ecology and microbiology.
