Effects of Hypomagnetic Field Exposure on the Human Gut Microbiome and Its Implications for Human Health

We are looking for a PhD student to develop a 3D in vitro model of human gut to model human gut-microbiome interactions. Environmental factors such as microgravity, radiation and hypomagnetic fields (HMF) may alter microbial function and lead to microbiome dysbiosis during spaceflights. Read more
