The Future of Health and Wellness is in Your Gut with Dr. Jonathan Scheiman. Ph.D. '03C

Dr. Jonathan Scheiman, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Fitbiomics is a former research fellow at the Harvard Medical School in the Laboratory of George Church. He has worked on transformative sequencing technologies and programmable cellular engineering, with publications in leading journals such as Science and Nature Methods. Having played Division 1 college basketball at St. John's, one of Jonathan's long-term goals is to use sports as a medium to inspire the next generation of scientists. According to Dr. Scheiman, FitBiomics is attempting to better understand the biology of the fittest people in the world, what makes them unique, and what allows them to perform at an optimal level. They hypothesize that the microbiomes (a community of micro-organisms in our bodies) of elite athletes must have incredibly efficient probiotics in common that help with their performance and recovery.
