Current research

• Characterization of complex microbial communities of fermented foods (e.g. dairy and plant-based fermented foods) and gut microbiome
• Genetics, physiology and metabolism of lactic acid bacteria (e.g. SLAB and non-SLAB)
• Biology, detection and biotechnological properties of bacteriophages (LAB and nonLAB)
• Computational microbiology tools, multivariate data analysis, and data integration
