My research program is dedicated to the investigation of the role and therapeutic potential of the gut microbiota and its metabolites in the progression of non-gastrointestinal cancers and associated cachexia. Studying the crosstalk between gut microbes and the host in this context constitutes an innovative approach. Our long-term goal is the identification of new “druggable” targets and promising nutritional microbiota-targeted tools to tackle cancer cachexia.
