New Exhibition ‘Zoo In You: The Human Microbiome’

April 5, 2016 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Did you know trillions of microbes make their homes inside your body? In fact, these microorganisms outnumber our human cells 10 to 1, “colonize” us right from birth, and are so interwoven into our existence that without each other, none of us would survive! Thanks to new sophisticated technology and the cutting-edge research of the Human Microbiome Project, we are just starting to discover what these microbes are up to and how they affect us.

In “Zoo in You: The Human Microbiomem,” a new 2,000 square foot bilingual traveling exhibit created in partnership between JCVI and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI), and funded by a SEPA grant from the NIH, visitors can now explore this fascinating and complex world that is our microbiome — a dynamic, adaptable, and delicately balanced ecosystem like any other found in nature.

Open Jan. 30 to May 8, 2016, in the Fleet Main Gallery.
