Karen Pendergrass is a microbiome researcher specializing in microbiome-targeted interventions (MBTIs). She systematically analyzes scientific literature to identify microbial patterns, develop hypotheses, and validate interventions. As the founder of the Microbiome Signatures Database, she bridges microbiome research with clinical practice. In 2012, based on her own investigative research, she became the first documented case of FMT for Celiac Disease—four years before the first published case study.

Inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, TNF-α and peritoneal fluid flora were associated with infertility in patients with endometriosisThis study reveals that inflammatory cytokines (L-6, L-10, L-13, and NF-α) are significantly elevated in the peritoneal fluid of endometriosis patients with infertility. These findings suggest their potential role as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for managing reproductive complications in endometriosis.
