Our group aims to understand microbial interactions within the human gut and their consequences for human health.

We focus in particular on sulfur and nitrogen metabolism to investigate the biology and ecological roles of less well-characterised microbes.

By uncovering how these microbial processes influence nutrient metabolism and host physiology, we aim to provide new insights into the contribution of the gut microbiome to human health and disease.
