Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 261376515
The project (Groussin, Poyet and Rühlemann) investigates the impact of shifts in human lifestyle and associated changes in microbiome diversity on the functional characteristics of the human metaorganism. The project will build upon a unique collection of biosamples and paired human-microbiome data from the Global Microbiome Conservancy (GMbC) cohort. The expected results could help to develop strategies to prevent detrimental microbiome trajectories associated with the adoption of industrialized lifestyles.
