A healthy intestinal microbiome is the prerequisite for our health. Dysfunctions of the intestinal microbiome caused by modern lifestyle including western diet, medications and physical inactivity are suspected to cause numerous metabolic, immunological and oncological diseases.
The Microbiomics research group focuses on the investigation of the impact of a dysfunctional microbiome in the context of chronic inflammatory and metabolic diseases. Also we study the basics of targeted and dietary modulation of the microbiome in order to specifically prevent and treat chronic diseases such as metabolic syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer.
Our core technology is the bioinformatic analysis of complex and multidimensional data including metagenomics and metabolomics data.
