The human body contains trillions of microbial cells with the highest density lining the digestive tract. Gut microbes are not inert; they interact with chemicals in their host environment including food components and food contaminants, e.g., from food contact materials. The goal of this project is to combine microbial cultivation techniques, mass-spectrometry based screening methods, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis to discover new microbial biotransformations of diverse food contact chemicals. We are looking for experienced candidates interested in multidisciplinary research to join our team.
