“Oxygen Dependent Growth of Gut Bacteria”

Gut bacteria are essential for our health, but their growth behavior within the large intestine is not well studied. In her project, Claudia will investigate the role of gases, specifically oxygen, as a growth factor of bacteria. To this end, she will use computer modeling to describe and mimic bacterial growth, under various conditions, within the intestine.
