About Anthony

Anthony Fodor is a Professor in the Department of Bioinformatics and Genomics at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, a position he has held since 2005. He received his Ph.D. in Physiology and Biophysics from the University of Washington in 1998. Fodor's research focuses on applying analytical techniques to vast datasets from modern biology, particularly characterizing microbial diversity and function in human-associated communities using high-throughput post-genomic technologies. The Fodor Lab explores the role of the human gut microbiota in fatty liver disease, employs next-generation sequencing to study infections in Cystic Fibrosis patients, examines adherent mucosal bacteria in the normal colon of patients with and without adenomas, and investigates probiotics as mediators of gut inflammation and chemopreventive agents. He contributed to the data analysis teams for the Human Microbiome Project, analyzing 16S rRNA data, and the Microbiome Quality Control Project. His interests include algorithm development, pipeline automation for reproducible meta-analyses, and linking microbial community states to health and disease outcomes. Fodor has extensive experience in next-generation sequencing technology and bioinformatics, developing tools for visualizing and interpreting biological data.
