Deciphering the causal mechanisms linking the early life microbiome and common chronic inflammatory diseases

The overall aim in this project is to decipher the causal mechanisms linking the early life microbiome and common chronic inflammatory diseases.

Cluster of bactria in the gut

To do this, we aim at determining the full metagenome from gut and airways - before the onset of disease- and map the compositional-, functional- and metabolic potential of the microbiome to unravel the extrinsic mechanisms that determine the transition from health to chronic disease.
