PhD Position in Diet–Microbiome–Metabolome Interactions - DTU Food

Are you passionate about microbiology and nutrition? Join us to uncover how diet shapes the gut microbiome and contribute to research that could pave the way for the next generation of personalized nutrition? We are seeking an ambitious and motivated microbiologist for a 3-year PhD position to investigate the fundamental mechanisms underlying the interactions between diet, the gut microbiome, and microbial metabolites.

The PhD project is a part of collaboration between Research group for Gut, Microbes, and Health and Research Group for Nutrition, Sustainability and Health Promotion at the DTU National Food institute, Technical University of Denmark. We offer a dynamic and collaborative research environment with many exciting challenges and opportunities.

The objective of this project is to characterize the functional capacity and metabolic output of the gut microbiome and to identify the dietary components that shape them.

The knowledge generated through this project will provide a fundamental understanding of how diet influences microbiome function and will contribute to the development of personalized dietary recommendations that promote a healthy metabolic output from the gut microbiome1 …
