Research summary
AI-generated

Christian L. Lauber's research focuses on the gut and oral microbiome, including how gut bacteria influence health outcomes such as obesity, irritable bowel syndrome, and body weight regulation, as well as how oral bacteria (Porphyromonas gingivalis) may affect brain development and Alzheimer's-related proteins. Much of the work involves developing and applying methods to measure microbial community composition and specific bacterial enzyme activities (like bile salt hydrolase) in both animal models and humans.
