Physio-genetics of diet-host-bacteria interactions

We study how commensal bacteria shape the juvenile animals' response to their nutritional environment and how juveniles' nutrition influences the ecology and physiology of their bacterial partners. Hence, we study microbial ecology and physiology as well as animal development and physiology. We use gnotobiology in Drosophila and mice, coupled to genetics, functional genomics, imaging and biochemical approaches.

Keywords: Microbiota / systemic growth / nutrition / gnotobiology / symbiosis / physiology / Drosophila
