Our lab bridges clinical reality and experimental innovation to study gut microbiome function in health and disease. We focus on the small intestine (ileum) and colon, using access to ileostomy samples, Parkinson’s disease cohorts, and novel hydrogel/motility models. This approach allows us to reveal microbial processes that are difficult to capture with standard models, connecting patient biology with mechanistic insight.
