I am a PhD student at the University of Hong Kong. The topic of my research is gut microbiota in health and disease. I learned there is a cutting-edge “Gut-on-a-chip” technology implemented in Institut Pasteur, that mimics human guts physiology and can be colonized by complex microbiota. This technology interests me because it overcomes barriers to translating microbiota research findings from animal models to humans. Fortunately, my supervisor is in collaboration with Dr. Elisabeth Labruyère at BIA for a project named Mechabiome using this technology and advanced live imaging. So I applied for and was awarded the 1st HKU-Pasteur Research Pole Fellowship, and will be here for 3 months (Sep-Dec, 2021) to extend the original proposal and test hypotheses generated from my previous findings.
