نبذة عامة

Dr. Tashkandy's research aims to clarify the role of microbiota in both health and disease, a topic that numerous studies have emphasized since their discovery. The microbial populations thrive in symbiosis with the host, contributing to homeostasis and regulating immune activity in certain locations, including the gut and respiratory tracts.

Driven by her academic experience (Ph.D. in molecular biology from King's College), she is currently researching the diverse roles of the microbiome.

الاهتمامات العلمية

My research investigates the complex role of the human microbiome in health maintenance and illness progression. I am especially keen on elucidating the interactions between microbial communities and host physiology, immunity, and metabolism, as well as how dysbiosis—disruptions in these microbial ecosystems—contributes to chronic ailments such as inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic disorders, cancer, and neurological conditions. Through the integration of multi-omics methodologies, encompassing metagenomics, metabolomics, and host transcriptomics, I intend to find microbial signatures, pathways, and metabolites that function as biomarkers or therapeutic targets. My objective is to convert these findings into targeted therapies, including probiotics, prebiotics, or dietary alterations, to reestablish microbial equilibrium and enhance health outcomes. This research connects fundamental microbial ecology with therapeutic applications, providing innovative approaches to prevent, detect, and cure disorders associated with the microbiome.
