Senior Research Associate at MRC Toxicology, University of Cambridge My research interests focus on interspecies-interactions in gut and food microbial communities, their effects and benefits, as well as bacterial responses to drugs and food compounds.

Sweeteners shown to slow growth of important gut bacteria in lab tests
Cambridge researchers have shown how commonly-used sweeteners slow the growth of certain gut bacteria. One sweetener in particular – isosteviol – when combined with the anti-depressant duloxetine sign...

Common xenobiotics modulate gut microbial responses to low‑calorie sweeteners in vitro - Molecular Systems Biology
The gut microbiota is implicated in adverse effects associated with low-calorie sweeteners. Yet, the direct impact of sweeteners on gut bacteria remains largely uncharacterized. Here, we report intera...

Indra Roux@indraroux.bsky.social · 5mo agoOne of the biggest challenges in microbial biotechnology? Unlocking the potential of non-model microbes and synthetic communities! Glad to share our review @sonjablasche.bsky.social @simonemozzachiodi.bsky.social @kiranrpatil.bsky.social @cambridgebiosci.bsky.social🧵(1/7) doi.org/10.1016/j.co...
Check out our new preprint! We systematically map proteomic and metabolomic interactions between >100 pairs of gut bacteria, detecting metabolic interactions and functionally-related clusters of proteins. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @kiranrpatil.bsky.social
Interspecies interactions drive bacterial proteome reorganisation and emergent metabolism
Species in microbial communities must respond to the presence of others to stave off resource competition or to capitalise on new resources that may become available due to additional metabolic activi...
