Hariom Yadav studies how the microbes in our gut shape the way we age, think, and metabolize. As Director of the USF Center for Microbiome Research, he investigates how a leaky gut — driven by microbiome disturbance — contributes to dementia, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and develops evidence-based probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics to counter it.
