Enhancing Bioactives
Enhancing Bioactives
Research Lead: Dr Sasha Tetu, Macquarie University
These projects bridge microbiome research and bioactives using cutting edge genomics characterisation to illuminate characteristics of specific microbial physiologies relevant to bioactive products. Higher Degree Research projects will take the genetic diversity inherent in microbial systems and exploit them to enhance the applications of bioactives by selecting products with beneficial microbial outcomes. The approach will leverage FAAB cutting-edge facilities and know-how, utilising the considerable expertise of working with gut animal models, anaerobic culturing and in analysis of microbiome and metagenome sequence data to uncover specific microbial physiologies and relationships between bioactives and health outcomes.
