This project investigates horizontal gene transfer rates in the gut microbiome to explore new methods for modulating gut health. By understanding how microbes exchange genetic material, the research aims to develop innovative strategies for improving health outcomes through dietary and lifestyle changes.
My goal is to determine horizontal gene transfer (HGT) rates of specific functions within the gut microbiome.
The microbes on and within our bodies, especially within our gastro-intestinal tract, are intimately connected with our immune system and promote health in myriad ways.
Altering our gut microbiota (GM) composition and/or function might thus improve health.
My research in the Jeroen Raes lab led to the realization that changing species abundances through dietary or lifestyle modulation ma…
