Host-microbe-environment interactions
Our lab focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic diseases and ageing. We focus on understanding how microbes regulate human physiology. We combine classical and advanced microbial genetics and high-throughput genomic/chemical approaches with targeted metabolomics at the holobiont level to identify drugable mechanisms in bacteria with the capacity to regulate host physiology and improve human health and ageing.
