Multiscale modelling of state transitions in the host-microbiome-brain network
OverviewShort-chain fatty-acids (SCFA) are produced from dietary fibres by the intestinal microbiota. They protect humans against obesity. The fate of SCFA and their impact on human fat metabolism is complex and dynamic. To optimally apply prebiotic (fibre) and probiotic (microbial) supplements, a better understanding of their mode of action is required. Our aim is to construct, infer, and analyse a dynamic, multiscale computational model predicting how dietary fibres affect the balance between fat intake and oxidation in human. The model will comprise production, uptake, and metabolism of SCFA and predict state transitions in whole-body fat metabolism in relation to obesity.

I am a Professor in Medical Systems Biology and the University Medical Centre Groningen. The research in my lab is focused on complex regulation of mammalian lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, eventually aiming at network-based therapies. We combine dynamic computer simulations with quantitative metabolomics, 13C fluxomics, proteomics and transcriptome analysis, and in depth biochemical analysis. This allows to predict and understand ‘emergent’ properties, those properties that are counterintuitive
