Project 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Interactions in Underexplored Ecosystems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The project addresses microbiomes that are still poorly understood despite their clinical, environmental, and economic relevance. We explore interactions within the human small intestine in health and disease, as well as shifting microbial interactions triggered by environmental invasive species acting as vectors for microbial pathogens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is widely accepted that we need a better understanding of microbial dynamics within the human small intestine, but the system has remained understudied due to problems of reliable access. We leverage our ability to reliably sample the small intestine in patient cohorts to fill this knowledge gap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second work package (WP) asks how invasive species may act as vectors for microbiomes using two examples, one where an introduced insect species has picked up a bacterial pathogen within the ecosystem it invaded and transferred it to a new host of commercial importance and the second where a marine bivalve is currently replacing a closely- related native species. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although these systems are diverse, they share focus on interactions within complex animal microbiomes. The common goal is thus to unravel principles of interactions that may lead to more predictability of system behavior but also to uncover hidden consequences of interactions that may ultimately enable interventions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Work package 1.1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Small Intestine: an Underexplored Habitat with Implication for Human Health<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Work Package 1.1, our goal is to understand the local composition, ecological principles, and dynamics of the SI microbiome. Given our strong expertise on archaea, we will specifically investigate the interaction between the human host, the bacteriome, and the archaeome in settings of medical relevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work package 1.2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Influence of Invasive Species on Host-Associated Microbiomes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Species invasions are one of the biggest causes of ecosystem change and rapid climate shifts will result in redistributions of plant and animal species. Our main question in Work Package 1.2 is how native and introduced microbiomes interact to influence the ecological and economic outcomes of biological invasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
