Lindemann Lab Research
The Lindemann lab researches dietary influences on the gut microbiome and the effects of those microbial shifts on host health, such as inflammation and gut colonization by pathogens. The goal is to discover dietary solutions to health problems such as Crohn’s disease, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, ulcerative colitis and more. Specifically, the Lindemann lab focuses on using molecular ecology techniques to understand how diet influences the composition and stability of the gut microbiome; how gut microbiome metabolism of dietary components influences production and absorption of bioactive microbial metabolites; how metabolic interactions between microbes alter polysaccharide fermentation and nitrogen metabolism in the colon; and how these interactions between beneficial microbes exclude pathogenic organisms and modulate inflammation in the colon.
