Understanding The Microbiome’s Influence To Drive Better Healthcare

• Pinpointing how microbiome shifts contribute to diseases, including cancer as well as metabolic and age-related conditions.
• Exploring how to improve patients’ treatment response through changes in their diet, microbiome and microbial metabolites.
• Clarifying how external exposures, such as pollutants, affect microbiome-host interactions.

Microbiome Research ProgrammeUsing metagenomics, bioinformatics and systems biology, the team is discovering insights into the microbiome's role in human health.

Our Impact

Spearheading Discoveries And Advancing Microbiome Research

• We promoted platforms that use gut-on-a-chip and microfluidics technologies to test the interactions between people and their microbiomes efficiently.

Microbiome Research ProgrammeThrough understanding how micro-organisms influence bodily functions, we are spearheading discoveries to improve treatment for cancer, metabolic and age-related conditions.
