Research groups

Inflammatory bowel diseases

Research aim

Our research is focused on the elucidation of the pathogenesis of Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), personalized medicine and on a severe complication of IBD: colitis-associated colorectal carcinoma.
Go to group

Microbial genomics and metagenomics

Research aim

We develop novel genomic methods for reconstructing and tracking antimicrobial resistance genes by building bioinformatics tools to facilitate data analysis of massive sequence data sets of pathogens and microbiomes.
Go to group

Molecular and cellular host-microbiota interactions

Research aim

Our research aims to unravel how the products from pathogenic and beneficial bacterial species within the intestinal microbiota contribute to human health and disease.
Go to group

Translational microbiomics

Research aim

Our aim is to translate human microbiome knowledge to improved diagnostic tests and clinical interventions by incorporating systems biology into clinical epidemiological studies, conducting mechanistic laboratory studies, and linking the two.
