Nutrimetabonomics

Sandrine Claus is Associate Professor in Integrative Metabolism at the University of Reading and Honorary Lecturer at Imperial College London. She obtained her PhD in Biochemistry at Imperial College London, where she started to study host-gut microbiota metabolic interplays using a metabonomics approach. Her research focuses on understanding the biological mechanisms underpinning the relationship between gut microbial ecology and host metabolism in health and disease. She is associate editor for the journal Microbial Ecology in Health and Disease.
