Primary fields of research
- Microbial behavior in complex environments.

- The role of bacteriophages in the gastrointestinal tract
- Targeted interventions to manipulate the gut microbiome (bacteriophages etc.)
- Fermented Foods (cocoa, wine, coffee, indigenous fermented foods, fermentation as flavour enhancer, fermentation as a tool to improve nutritional value)
- Rapid methods for culture-dependent and culture-independent (qPCR, high throughput sequencing) characterisation of complex microbiological communities.
- Coupling of bioinformatic and chemical/spectroscopic data using multivariate data analysis.
