I am fascinated by the role of the gut microbiota in nutrition and health. I have experiences from multidisciplinary studies investigating the effects of different dietary regimes (a New Nordic diet, a wholegrain diet, a low-gluten diet, and a Mediterranean diet) as well as dietary or xenobiotic components (gliadin, haptocorrin, antibiotics, pesticides) on the gut microbiome and metabolome.
Primary fields of research
- Interactions between diet and gut microbia and the potential of modulating these interactions for the prevention of metabolic dysfunction and cardiovascular complications in humans (DINAMIC)
- Bifidobacteria and the development of the immune system early in life (Copenhagen Infant Gut)
- Microbial tryptophan metabolites in health and disease
- A personal microbiome-dependent glucose response (MIGLUCOSE)
- Effects of moderate alcohol intake on the gut microbial composition and activity
- Microbial enterotypes in personalized nutrition and obesity management
Previous research projects:
- The effects of a low-gluten diet on healthy adults (3G center)
- The effects of a wholegrain-rich diet on healthy adults (3G center)
- Colonic transit time and the gut microbial composition, diversity and metabolism (3G center)
- Neonatal Gut Community Pertubation by Antibiotics
- Faecal transplantation of obesity-associated microbes
- The effects of gluten (gliadin) on the gut microbiome and host physiology (3G center)
- Effects of glyphosate on the gut microbial composition and metabolism
