The Hall lab comprises a multi-disciplinary team that is seeking to understand the molecular aspects of microbiome interactions, at the interface of the gut mucosa. We have a particular focus on the early life developmental window, as pregnancy and infancy, and the microbes that colonise during this time (e.g. Bifidobacterium), coincides with key physiological programming, and is when the foundations of future health and wellbeing are laid down.
My labs research programme is organised into three complimentary themes (i) microbe-diet interactions, (ii) colonisation resistance, and (iii) microbiota-host crosstalk. These themes are interlinked by large longitudinal cohort studies, including a preterm infant cohort and a mother-infant dyad cohort. Our clinical studies (and clinical studies lead by other ZIEL members) underpin our wider research activities, which comprise a series of coordinated investigations addressing the mechanistic foundation of microbiome-host interactions in health and disease, with the aim of intervention and therapy development. We collaborate with other ZIEL members to leverage their significant expertise in different disciplines and their innovative model systems.
The lab utilises multi-disciplinary approaches and ZIEL core facilities to answer these key questions including; microbiology (in vitro model-colon systems for complex culturing, molecular microbiology, cultureomics), metabolomics (NMR, M/S), next generation sequencing (RNASeq, 16S rRNA, WGS, metagenomics; both host and microbe), bioinformatics tools, in vivo models (germ-free and infection models) and human studies (infants and adults).
