2.10.2025 klo 12.15 – 13.15
Professor of Biomolecular Medicine Jonathan Swann | University of Southampton
Chair: Prof. Kati Hanhineva, Dept of Life Technologies
Welcome to the lecture by Professor Jonathan R. Swann, who is visiting the Food Sciences Unit at the Faculty of Technology.
During his visit, Swann will give a guest lecture on the topic of “A metabolomic perspective of the holobiont”.
Chair: Prof. Kati Hanhineva, Dept of Life Technologies
Jonathan Swann is a Professor of Biomolecular Medicine in the School of Human Development and Health, Faculty of Medicine at the University of Southampton and Visiting Professor in the Department of Metabolism, Digestion, and Reproduction at Imperial College London.
He is Director of the Clinical Metabolomics Unit at Southampton and leads a metabolomic-based research programme to understand the influence of gene-environment interactions on the mammalian metabolic system and their implications for development, health, and disease.
His primary interests involve developing analytical techniques and models to study the metabolic interactions between the gut microbiota and the human host and he has a specific interest in the microbiota-gut-brain axis.
Prof. Swann is the Director of the UK Gut-Immune-Brain Axis (GIBA) Network, Associate Editor of the journals, Microbiome and Biofilms & Microbiomes, and his work has been published in high-impact journals such as Cell, Nature Medicine, PNAS, and JEM.
