Research project funded by NIDDK to study the impact of diet and microbiota on intestinal inflammation and develop new treatments for inflammatory bowel diseases.
Description
This project aims to understand how diet, microbiota, and microbial metabolites influence intestinal inflammation, focusing on the role of dietary fiber and microbiota-derived metabolites in modulating immune responses such as ILC2s and eosinophils. The research will employ murine models and human samples to identify pathways involved in IBD pathogenesis and develop potential therapeutics.
