Our Vision

The Human Microbiota – Xenobiotics Interactions Lab at ITQB NOVA investigates the effects of trace elements, medications, and other xenobiotics on the composition and function of gut microbiota, as well as their impact on the host.

 

This is achieved through a combination of systems-based approaches and tailored molecular and biochemical methods.
