Group affiliations & research support
The dwibedilab is a part of the Department of Clinical Microbiology at Umeå University. We are affiliated to The Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden [MiMS] - the Swedish node of the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine. We are also affiliated to SciLifeLab through the Data-Driven Life Science [DDLS] Program funded by Knut and Alice Wallenburg Foundation [KAW]!
Our Focus
Our group is focused on studying the strain-level differences within the human gut microbiota, including host-specific adaptations, host-microbe interactions, and host-microbe coevolution. Our goal is to understand the role specific microbes play in human health and on the long run to improve the effectiveness of gut bacteria as therapeutic agents.
