The PhD project concerns how commensal and pathogenic microbiota modulate host signalling in the intestine and aims to elucidate fundamental aspects of disease progression. Within the gut microbiome component, the project will identify microbial species, microbial gene functions, and gene clusters through DNA sequencing by PIG-PARADIGM consortium partners. Combined with tissue/fecal metabolomics, this will lead to microbial species/gene interaction networks and pathways. Conversely, on the host side gene networks and pathways will be identified through total and small RNA-seq data likewise established by PIG-PARADIGM consortium partners.
