Our lab focuses its scientific efforts on defining the role of nutrition in modulation of microbe-mediated extracellular matrix in health and disease
“Modulation of microbes-regulated extracellular matrix for better quality of life”
— MatrixBiome Lab
Nutrition impact on ECM and Microbiome
We investigate the role of probiotics and postbiotics input in ECM enzymatic activity, as well as the impact of microbiome-modified ECM homeostasis in physiological and pathological conditions, highlighting the interplay with the immune system
Developing engineered microbes for therapeutics and food supplements
We engineer novel microbes in order to be used as a payload vesicle using highly-specific inhibitors for modulation of ECM composition, which can be used as food supplements either for prophylactic actions or for increasing drugs efficiency
