Mission Statement: The mission of CHAMMP is to prevent and resolve co-morbidities of chronic inflammatory diseases through restoration of mucosal barriers and microbiota synergy.
The Center of Health for Advancing Microbiome and Mucosal Protection (CHAMMP) was developed from the Research Investments in the Sciences and Engineering (RISE) program entitled, "Protecting the Fragile Intestine: Integrating Microbiota and Mucosal Health" examines the important role of the intestine in promoting overall health.”
The Center of Health for Advancing Microbiome and Mucosal Protection brings together the researchers whose projects involve investigating how the human microbiome shapes gut development and chronic inflammatory diseases both infectious and non-infectious. Through research collaborations they will discover, translate and apply methods to advance microbiome and mucosal protection.
