Our latest work combines human gut epithelial #organoid culture with experimental #Shigella #infections, transposon mutagenesis, and statistical modeling. This has led to the mapping of the comprehensive geneset that drives Shigella epithelial colonization.

🥳 We achieved our first Milestone with HDHL #Food4Health!

The main objective is to align R&I priorities among funding programmes by identifying research and policy needs to overcome the siloed approach between health & nutrition.
Interested in the specific objectives of this project?
