Robert M. Brucker
Chief Scientific Officer & Co-Founder
DermBiont
At the Rowland, the focus of the Brucker Lab was on interactions of environmental toxins metabolized by the gut microbiome. They utilized natural product chemistry, ecotoxicology, population genetics, evolution, and experimental microbiota to test hypotheses on the interaction between microbiota of the gut and environmental toxins consumed by the host animal. The Brucker Lab was particularly interested in how acute and long-term exposure to environmental toxins, such as pesticides, can cause changes to the microbiota population of the gut in both structure and function.
