Gut Microbiota

The human microbiome is the collective genomes of all microorganisms living at the multiple sites of the human body (oral cavity, skin, nasal cavity, gastrointestinal tract (GI) and vagina). Human (Homo sapiens) and their commensal microorganisms have evolved together over the last 200,000 years and have become dependent on one another. Interaction between humans and their symbiotic bacteria is essential to many aspects of normal ‘mammalian’ physiology, ranging from metabolic activity to immune homeostasis, and ecological or genetic changes that disturb this mutualism can result in disease. It reflects the evolutionary selection pressures acting at both the levels of the host and the microbial cells and has a direct profound impact on human health. This line of research aims at understanding the role of the gut microbiome in intestinal disorders using ‘omics approaches.


Our research group proposes a service-collaboration in Microbiome analysis.

The Human Microbiome

The Microbiome Research Group seeks to investigate the role of the microbiota in health and disease. Its secondary objectives include:

1. Role of the microbiota in health and disease

2. Tools to characterize the microbiome structure and function

3. Micro-biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis

4. Fecal microbiota transplantation as a therapeutic strategy

5. Impact of diet on the gut microbial ecosystem

The results show that diet induces changes in the gut microbiota that differ between Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and that influence levels of intestinal inflammation.

The study, involving a thousand participants from different regions of Spain, shows that diet influences the diversity and composition of the microbiota and, therefore, health.

The study also linked improved microbiota diversity to better liver function.
