Starch breakdown in the digestive tract

I am a CTP PhD student working at Quadram institute biosciences and with Campden BRI as my industry partner.

I am looking at the impact of fibre and nutrient bio-accessibility on the gut microbiota. I will be using in vitro models of human digestion including INFOGEST and colon models combined with metabolomics and metagenomics to study the impact of processing fibre on gut microbiota composition and microbial accessibility.
