Background

My research interest is to understand the role of the microbiome in stroke, with a focus on intestinal immune function and microbial metabolites.

My scientific goal is to better understand how the gut microbiome may influence stroke outcome and post-stroke comorbidities. Modulation of the microbiome­–specially which kind of metabolites our gut bacteria produce–may have strong therapeutic implications in stroke by diet interventions.
