Our team

We are a multi-disciplinary group of microbiologist, cancer biologists, immunologists, nutrition scientists, and data analysts, who collaborate to conduct innovative microbiome research using cutting-edge technologies. We utilize a variety of methodologies, which encompass in-vitro experiments and organoid models, animal cancer models, human studies, advanced metabolic profiling, and genomic and transcriptomic data analyses to uncover the role of the microbiome in human health and disease.

A diverse group of 20 people stands together outdoors in a garden setting. They appear to be colleagues or friends, with varied clothing styles and expressions, arranged in two rows, surrounded by greenery and a stone pathway. The atmosphere is friendly and collaborative.
