Research Intrest

Primary research interests include the gut microbiota and its contribution to host endogenous and exogenous metabolism, the carcinogenic potential of the microbiome and the impact of early-life events on metabolism and development. In addition, a key research area is the application of prebiotics and probiotics to the field of gut health. Specifically, I focus my research towards a better understanding on the role of microbiota in food and nutritional systems and all microbial interactions with nutritional metagenomics.
