My research project
The Gut Microbiome in Parkinson's Disease and Application of Machine Learning to the Gut MicrobiomeThe gut microbiome is now known to be a player in the development of multiple diseases such as type II diabetes or autism. The gut-brain axis is a strong relationship between the gut microbiome and the brain and could be involved in some neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease (PD). But for now, this only suspicions. My project aims to identify the microbial communities impacted or involved in the PD development to better understand the disease and its link with the microbial communities of the human gut.
