Hariom Yadav, PhD (he/him/his)

Director, USF Center for Microbiome Research
University of South Florida
Tampa, Florida, United States

Dr. Yadav is the Director of the USF Center for Microbiome Research, Microbiomes Institute, and an Associate Professor of Neurosurgery and Brain Repair. His research is focused on advancing understanding of how abnormalities in the gut can impact the brain functions which influence our learning, memory, and food intake behaviors via inducing condition called leaky gut, which is an understudied source of systemic inflammation. Dr. Yadav’s team is designing innovative technologies of unique probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and postbiotics to modulate the gut microbiome, which in turn can reduce leaky gut and inflammation to ameliorate the burden of age-related conditions in older adults. He uses personalized nutrition and microbiome approaches in clinical and preclinical studies. Dr. Yadav and his team initiated the Microbiome in aging Gut and Brain (MiaGB) study, one of the unique and largest study in the USA and around the globe, which investigates the role of the gut microbiome in maintaining brain health during aging. Dr. Yadav’s research is supported by the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Defense, and the National Science Foundation. He has been awarded several national and international awards for his research contributions and published more than 150 peer-reviewed publications and earned several national and international awards for his research achievements. He is also commercializing the technologies from his lab and co-founded Postbiotics Inc. He believes this program will be a golden opportunity to create new collaborations between his group and Israeli counterparts which can mutually benefit for progressive science.
