Biography of the speaker : Dr. Manimozhiyan Arumugam leads the “Microbiome Systems Biology” research group that investigates how health and diseases are influenced by our gut microbiome; how the gut microbiome interacts with the host and environmental factors; and how we can therapeutically modulate the gut microbiome to improve health. His group takes interdisciplinary approaches combining multi-omics microbiome data to study host-microbial cross-talk. The group also investigates therapeutic approaches to modulate the gut microbiome towards improving human health. Dr. Arumugam has been studying the human microbiome for over 14 years. He is a principal investigator in several studies investigating the role of gut microbiome in multiple sclerosis (Lundbeck Foundation), obesity (Novo Nordisk Foundation – 2 grants), liver disease (European Union Horizon 2020 – 2 grants), ageing (Danish Independent Research Council) and antimicrobial peptides (Danish Independent Research Council – 2 grants). He currently leads Work Packages for microbiome multi-omics data integration in two large EU Horizon 2020 consortia (GALAXY and MICROB-PREDICT) studying liver diseases. Dr. Arumugam has published 53 research articles, 7 of them in Nature (2 as shared first author), 1 in Science and 1 in Cell. He has an h-index of 32 with >19,000 total citations (ISI Web of Science). He was listed among the Highly Cited Researchers of 2018, 2019 and 2020 by Clarivate Analytics.
