Jimmy Walter Crott
Associate Professor, Pathology & Laboratory Medicine
Biography
Jimmy Crott, PhD, Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, studies the interaction between diet, gut microbiome, colon tumorigenesis and aging. His ongoing projects involve identifying the active component of a chemoprotective bacterium, understanding the role of gut barrier integrity and tight junction proteins in aging and understanding the role of the gut microbiome in colon cancer prevention by a Mediterranean diet. He came to BU/BMC in February 2022 from Tufts University, where he served in a variety of roles over 20 years, most recently as the leader of the Microbiome and Aging Program at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging and strategic initiative advisor in the Office of the Vice Provost of Research.
