We're delighted to introduce our new secretary Elisabeth @Eoflat. Welcome on board ⛵️See image description for her bio 🧫🦠@Pharmabiotic #postdocs #newmembers

ALT Elisabeth is a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Douwe van Sinderen’s group at the APC Microbiome. She gained a BSc in Pharmacology from the University of Edinburgh followed by an MRes and PhD from the University of Cambridge. Elisabeth’s PhD thesis explored glucose absorption in the gut and the subsequent release of incretin hormones. Her interests include nutrition and host-microbe interactions, and her current research explores this in the context of the human commensal gut bacteria, Bifidobacterium. She is happy to be back in her native Cork and enjoys sea swimming.
