RESEARCH GROUP
Nutrition, Microbiome and Metabolomics
Our mission is to study the impact of diets and foods on digestion, gut microbiome and metabolism, develop biomarkers, and accelerate precision nutrition strategies, thereby advancing nutrition for improvement of health and wellbeing.
- Studying personal responses to diets and foods through omics-analyses.
- Developing biomarkers of diets, foods, gut microbes, and diseases.
- Understanding diet-microbiome-host interactions and metabolism.
- Improving nutritional strategies for patients.
Our methodologies include:
- Innovative dietary interventions and cohort studies.
- Microbiome-focused nutritional interventions
- Hospital-based nutritional interventions.
- Targeted and untargeted metabolomics and adductomics.
- Advanced data integration, analyses and sharing.
We collaborate with leading clinical, microbiome and metabolomics researchers and experts in microbiology, immunology and intestinal host receptors.
We are responsible for several courses.
