Benoit obtained his PhD in microbiology at the University of Clermont-Ferrand (France), identifying factors involved in the virulence of adherent and invasive Escherichia coli. He then joined Georgia State University, first as a postdoctoral fellow with Andrew Gewirtz to study mucosal immunology, before establishing his own lab focusing on how genetic and environmental factors are impacting the intestinal microbiota in a way that can drive chronic diseases.
His lab Microbiome-Host Interactions is expending the field of Mucosal Microbiology! More specifically, his team is mechanistically investigating how the environment modulates complex microbial ecosystems, as well as deciphering how the host and its various microbiome communicate, with a particular focus on intestinal inflammation and metabolic deregulations. Using various paradigm, as well as complementary approaches (from in vitro microbiota modelling system to clinical trials), this team is expanding the fascinating field of microbiota-based personalized nutrition and medicine!
