Unraveling the functions of GLP-1 in the gut
Our team member Thomas Greiner was intervied for an episode in ISAPP’s podcast series ”Science, Microbes & Health” where he shared his knowledge on the various functions of GLP-1 in the gut, and the role of gut microbes in GLP-1 production, with ultimate effects on host health.
About Dr. Thomas Greiner
Thomas Greiner is a medical scientist at the Wallenberg Laboratory, University of Gothenburg, with over 15 years of experience in functional genetics and metabolic research. His work focuses on the intricate interplay between gut microbiota, intestinal hormones such as GLP-1, and host metabolism. He has explored how microbial and hormonal signals influence energy balance, intestinal function, and the development of metabolic diseases. His research primarily uses molecular approaches in mouse models to investigate the role of microbial signals in metabolic disease and to uncover new functions of gut hormones in regulating intestinal physiology.
