Our lab uses a variety of complementary approaches to study gut colonisation resistance, including artificial gut models (aka “chemostat” or “Robogut” models), batch culture experiments, patient faecal samples, and mouse intervention experiments. Samples are analysed using both culture-dependent and culture-independent techniques, including a variety of “omic” techniques (e.g. 16S rRNA gene sequencing, 1H-NMR spectroscopy, and a variety of mass spectrometry techniques).
