Research on the gut microbiome, nutrition, and intestinal physiology and disease.
Research Summary:
The Pierre lab addresses a range of basic, translational, and clinical research questions focused on the gastrointestinal microbiome, nutrition, and gut physiology and disease. Our experimental models include bariatric surgery, parenteral and enteral nutrition, gnotobiotics, and organoid approaches. We perform microbiome community computational analysis and culturing techniques to investigate host-microbial interactions. From a nutrition standpoint, we are interested in the role of dairy products in supporting human health and nutrition and discovering novel uses for dairy components in the treatment of disease.
