Using gnotobiotic and germ-free mouse models, defined bacterial communities, and advanced microbial and metabolomic profiling, the lab investigates how specific gut microbes and their metabolites contribute to hepatobiliary and intestinal inflammation and fibrosis. This research aims to translate these discoveries into innovative microbe- and metabolite-based diagnostics and therapies for diseases with limited treatment options, advancing patient care and improving outcomes in gastroenterology and hepatology.
