OUR QUESTION
One question, four windows
Hormonal changes, whether physiological, pathological or induced, are natural experiments on the human microbiome. We study four of them.
PHYSIOLOGICAL
Menopause
How the midlife hormonal transition reshapes the microbiome.
PATHOLOGICAL
Endometriosis
How a hormone-dependent disease relates to microbial communities.
INDUCED
Fertility treatment
What controlled hormonal stimulation reveals about host–microbe ecology.
AUTOIMMUNE
Sjögren's syndrome
How autoimmunity alters the balance between hormones and microbes.
HOW WE WORK

Clinical Research
Well-characterised patient cohorts, clinical phenotyping and standardised sampling.
Experimental Research
Multi-omic profiling and microbial models to test mechanisms in the laboratory.
Data Science & Bioinformatics
Multi-omics integration, statistical modelling and machine learning.
