PROFESSIONAL FACULTY RESEARCH

Dr. Lindemann leads the Diet-Microbiome Interactions Laboratory, which studies the underlying ecological principles by which microbial communities consume complex substrates (i.e. polysaccharides). Specifically, the D-MIL seeks to uncover how distinct dietary fibers shape gut microbiome community structure and metabolism, identify mechanisms by which gut microbiota influence human metabolism and inflammation, elucidate ecological principles governing microbial interactions in competition for oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, and identify control points by fiber structures can be used to shape microbiota towards health. In addition, the laboratory also aims to examine division of microbial labor in consumption of polysaccharides in the gut and the environment.
