My research interests focus on interspecies-interactions in gut and food microbial communities, their effects and benefits, as well as bacterial responses to drugs and food compounds.

Check out our new preprint!
We systematically map proteomic and metabolomic interactions between >100 pairs of gut bacteria, detecting metabolic interactions and functionally-related clusters of proteins.

Interspecies interactions drive bacterial proteome reorganisation and emergent metabolism
Species in microbial communities must respond to the presence of others to stave off resource competition or to capitalise on new resources that may become available due to additional metabolic activi...

Impact of low-calorie sweeteners on gut bacteria is modulated by common xenobiotics
The gut microbiota is implicated in adverse effects associated with low-calorie sweeteners. Yet, the direct impact of sweeteners on gut bacteria remains largely uncharacterized. Here we report interac...
