An internationally renowned research biologist, Jeffrey I Gordon researches gastrointestinal development. This gives insight into how various aspects of human physiology affect predisposition to the disease.

Jeffrey Gordon is a respectable member of various organizations like the American Academy of Sciences and Arts and the Institute of Medicine.

In which school did Jeffrey Gordon attend?

Jeffrey Gordon was born in 1947  and christened Jeffrey I. Gordon. He did his Bachelor’s Degree in Biology in 1969 from Oberlin College, Ohio.

Jeffrey Gordon: Research in Biology

Dr. Jeffrey Gordon focused his early research on the development of cell lineages. These cell lineages live within the gastrointestinal tract. This initial study gave important insight into how the biochemical properties of the gut use lipids.

This study also found out how lipids are transported in the digestive system. Dr. Gordon’s group then published a seminal study with the help of functional genomics. He then documented the process of microbial colonization.

Jeffrey Gordon is an internationally acclaimed pioneer in his search for gut-microbial ecology and how it evolves. In another research, his team helped to establish the effect of two different types of weight-loss diets on overweight subjects.

In this way, Dr. Gordon concluded the kind of role our adaptive immune system plays and how it maintains a relationship between the host and microbes in the gut.

Jeffrey Gordon researched and authored the whitepaper, The 2005 National Human Genome Research. Later in 2007, his Micro-Biome Project was listed as one of the New Pathways to Discovery.
