Dr. Michael A. Schmidt is the author of Beyond Antibiotics, Brain-Building Nutrition, Childhood Ear Infections, and Tired of Being Tired. He did his Ph.D. research in molecular medicine and biochemistry within the Life Sciences Division at NASA Ames Research Center, with studies in neuroscience and metabolomics at Lancaster University. He teaches in the Metabolomics Training Program at the University of Colorado, and he works closely with the human disease modeling laboratory (3-D tissue analogues group) and with the human space flight initiative of the suborbital research group at NASA. He has applied his work in functional genomics and metabolomics to human disease states, as well as to methods to enhance human performance. Dr. Schmidt co-founded Sovaris Aerospace, which addresses problems of complexity in space biomedicine, along with Cyvia Neurosystems, which develops EEG-based neurophysiology tools. He is a gifted communicator, who has spent his career translating complex topics in science and medicine to general audiences.
Beyond Antibiotics is brilliant and well-researched. Dr. Schmidt offers a unique perspective on the skirmish between the outnumbered human host and the defiant bacteria. This riveting account is a valiant piece for our time. <br>--Andrew H. Meyer, MD, Fellow, American College of Cardiology <br> Dr. Michael Schmidt is that rare enigma of intellectual genius and gifted storyteller. He has an uncanny gift for taking complex concepts and articulating them in layman's terms. <br>--J'Lein Liese, PhD, President, Foundation for Global Leadership
