Research Summary
My main goal is to study the ecological development of a microbial population after successful transfer to a new host. Specifically, I studied the transfer (inheritance) of microbes from mothers to their baby during delivery and the subsequent development of this newly establishing microbial community. In addition I am intrested in the interaction between host sex hormones and the development of gut microbiota
