Project Description
Objective To obtain mechanistic insights into how resident commensal gut bacteria (the microbiota) influences host physiology and in particular brain function and host behaviour. The focus is on identifying the pathways and molecules originating from the microbiota itself, or that microbes elicit from cells of the enteric nervous system, that elicit and relay signals within the central nervous system (CNS).

The effect of corticosteroids on the release of immune modulating factors from Graves’ disease tissue maintained using microfluidic culture. Jun 1, 2017 - May 31, 2018
Graves’ disease (GD) affects approximately 2% of adult women. Current treatments for GD include anti-thyroid drugs, radioiodine therapy and surgery, of which none tackle the underlying pathogenic process. Immunosuppressive agents are therefore of gro...
