In this BBSRC-funded position, the impact of plant-based diets on the gut microbiome will be explored in metagenomes, including tracing bacterial strains, reconstructing their genomes and metabolic food-webs in the gastrointestinal ecosystem. This will be used to understand the impact a changing environment (food sources, immune system, invading pathogens) have on ecosystem stability. Questions we will be asking are, for example: -How can food-derived pathogens be effectively prevented from colonizing the gastrointestinal tract? -Does switching to a plant-based diet lead to a destabilised gut ecosystem (or reverse)? -How can the gut microbiome supplement essential micronutrients to the human body? To answer these questions, the postholder will be primarily working with metagenomic data from diet interventions, using machine learning to predict genomes, functions and ecosystem states (similar to previous work, see doi: 10.1038/s5-5, 10.1016/j.chom.2023.05.024, 10.1016/j.cgh.2024.11.006, 10 14396).

In addition, the postholder will be involved in organizing group tasks, such as helping in supervising junior researchers, submitting grants, developing new research programmes and organizing outreach events. The environment: The Hildebrand group ( ) uses metagenomics to research the diversity, community interactions, and evolution of microbes in communities using custom software solutions. The Quadram Institute is based on the Norwich Research Park, which is one of the largest single-site concentrations of research in food, genomics, and health in Europe. The Park hosts 4 BBSRC Institutes (including Earlham), 17,000 students, 3,000 full-time researchers and clinicians, and over 115 companies. The outstanding reputation of our researchers is internationally recognised, with 10 of the Park's scientists in the top 1% of the "most highly cited" in the world, including Dr Falk Hildebrand.
