    Main research activities

    Investigating and understanding the association between gut microbiome and health and disease in human and animal models. Molecular genetic methods and classical microbiology methods for detection, identification and characterization of complex microbial communities. Detection of bacteria, yeast and phages related to food processing and food pathogens. Investigating the influence of diet into microbial composition in in-vivo and in-vitro models of the mammalian gastro intestinal tract. Development and optimization of protocols for 2nd (Illumina based), 3rd (Oxford Nanopores) generation sequencing and high throughput qPCR.
