The importance of the intestinal microbiota for the physiology of the host and its involvement in the development of physio-pathological phenomena are increasingly recognised. In this context, our research focuses on the study of the gut microbiota-food interaction as a factor of vulnerability to the development of human pathologies.

Our studies therefore lie at the interface between microbiology, nutrition and physiopathology, and mainly use preclinical models, including microbiota transplants to germfree or specific-pathogen free rodents. Pathologies we consider include psychiatric diseases (anxiety and depression, autism, eating disorders…), metabolic diseases (obesity, diabetes, liver diseases) as well as colon cancer, atherosclerosis.
