A new imperative in the life sciences emerged with the realization that microbes are important drivers, rather than passengers, of the well-being of plants, animals, and humans. Albeit we have significantly advanced our understanding of microbial life distribution on Earth, our ability to manipulate and/or harness beneficial functions from complex microbiomes remains limited. In this talk, I will dive into the integration of Ecology, Microbiology, and Chemistry as core disciplines and provide a new perspective on how we can effectively ‘orchestrate’ microbial functions across systems.
