Main projects

HoloFood

Hologenomics for sustainable foor production

Poultry and salmon aquaculture are our two model systems to showcase the power of hologenomics for improving the quality and sustainability of animal food production.

Earth Hologenome Initiative

Mapping animal-microbiota interactions worldwide

We are generating paired genomic and metagenomic data of wild organisms from all over the world.

3D'omics

Reconstructing animal-microbiota interactions in 3D

We are merging animal sciences, microbiology and structural genomics to reconstruct animal-microbiota multi-omic interactions at the micro scale in three dimensions.
