Project

Microbiome Assay and Metaproteomics

This project focuses on advanced function-based study of the interactions of prebiotics, drugs, and other xenobiotics with the gut microbiome, and the utilisation of microbiome assays in precision prebiotic microbiome intervention trials aimed at promoting healthy aging.

Research directions

  • Function-based profiling of microbiome responses to prebiotics and xenobiotic compounds.
  • Mechanistic interpretation of drug-microbiome and diet-microbiome interactions.
  • Integration of microbiome assay outputs in precision prebiotic intervention studies.
  • Translation of assay-derived insights toward healthy aging strategies.
