Role of nutrition, and gut function in human health and diseases (sarcopenia, frailty, diabetes and cardiovascular diseas); using metabolomics and genomics

Could what we eat reshape the crosstalk between our gut, muscles and heart as we age? This exciting PhD harnesses cutting-edge metabolomics to decode the nutrition-gut-muscle-heart axis, uncovering biomarkers of healthy ageing and novel targets to prevent age-related cardiovasucal and cardiometabolic disease.
