Research

To study the relation between individual changes in postprandial glucose response and markers of habitual diet, microbiome composition/functions, gastric emptying rate, and postprandial gastrointestinal hormones in patients with type 1 diabetes

Human Microbiome

To study the role of microbiome in affecting the anti-tumor response elicited by oncolytic vaccines

Human Microbiome

 

Szeligowska Natalia

To investigate the mechanism of action of natural neuropeptides on the gut microbiome to help the development of novel synthetic peptides for microbiome modulation

Microbiome/ Metabolome interface

To investigate the microbiome of wild boar as a model species to unveil the emergence, spread and persistence of Antimicrobial resistance (at the “One Heath” interface)

To investigate the microbiome of shallow-water hydrothermal vents and explore its role in biogeochemical cycling and as source of industrially relevant microbial enzymes

To clarify the role of diet and gut microbiome composition as risk factors in the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease in relation to behavioral and mechanistic alterations leading to neuronal loss upon high fat western diet consumption

Mapping the microbiome in meat food chain, from primary production to retail, understanding how microbiome of the environment affects shelf-life, quality and safety and how processing conditions may modulate microbial spoilage dynamics.

To study interactions of different bacterial populations with different food matrices. A microfluidic mixer will allow to fabricate fine-scale micro-biogeographies by exploiting chaotic advection.
