TeamProbiHôte, UMR MICALIS
The goals of our team are:
1. To study intestinal and pulmonary microbial ecosystems in order to identify potential beneficial effects on the host as well as their mechanisms of action
2. To explore the immune and physiological responses of the host to bacteria and fungi, commensal and probiotic bacteria in different nutritional contexts
3. To study the host-microbiota crosstalk through diet and supplementation with prebiotics
4. To integrate our work into health issues of physiology (ageing) and physio-pathology (inflammation, colorectal cancer, asthma, metabolic syndrome and obesity) to move towards translational and to propose both complementary prevention and therapy strategies.
