Dr. Zackular is founding Co-Director of the Center for Microbial Medicine at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The Center for Microbial Medicine is dedicated to finding cures and improving pediatric health through the lens of the microbiome. Our transformative vision enables researchers and clinicians to leverage the microbiome to improve children’s health by moving discoveries quickly from bench to bedside.

Our center is the premier pediatric center in the United States focused on translational microbiome-based medicine, providing opportunities to partner with new initiatives across CHOP and the University of Pennsylvania. These initiatives include neurobiology, cancer therapy, immunotherapy, immune health, and more, with potential to affect pediatric medicine across all disciplines, diseases, and disorders.
