Biography
Dr. C. De Filippo applies metagenomics and metabolomics to the analysis of community structure, gene content, and function of complex microbial communities in human populations (gut microbiota) exposed to different diets. The plan of C. De Filippo is to couple these techniques to additional experimental techniques such as in vitro cell culture and animal models, to study the metabolic functions of the human gut microbiome, with potential implications for human health and nutrition.
