We typically have 1-3 postbacs, 2-4 PhD + MD/PhD students, and 2-4 postdocs or MD researchers in our group. Traits that are good for our lab:
you like to work independently and want to bring new ideas to develop that could be beneficial to patients in the near to medium term
you do not need to have worked on the microbiome before (coming from other areas, especially host/immunology focused is ideal)
you don't consider yourself a [fill-in-the-blank]-ologist (e.g., immunologist, microbiologist, computational biologist, etc...); we try to solve problems that advance medicine, regardless of the disciplines needed, rather than try to be scholars of a specific field
