Our lab is dedicated to understand the interactions between microbes and the host at mucosal surfaces. We are interested in applying this knowledge to prevent and treat human and veterinary diseases. We want to understand how diet, microbiota, metabolism and immunity interact in health and disease. Currently we are 80% located at the ETH Zürich, and 20% in Oxford, with research running in both locations.
The interactions between diet, the microbiota and the host immune system
Safe and effective vaccines for application in livestock rearing.
Mechanistic understanding of food-as-therapy for microbiota/immunity-related diseases.
Our current understanding of microbiota population dynamics in the gut is based on the sequencing data or the quantification of certain strains by culture.
