Lisa Olsson

Researcher, leave of absence

PhD

I did my PhD studies in the Bäckhed lab, defending my thesis in 2020. My graduate work characterized gut microbiota dynamics in a non-disease Swedish population and the development of children’s gut microbiota development up to 5 years in a longitudinally followed cohort of Swedish children. I am currently working in projects in the lab which aim to understand the role of the gut microbiota in the metabolic improvements following bariatric surgery. I am also participating in the lab efforts to characterize the strain library of human gut bacteria through sequencing of isolates, using both using Illumina short-read and nanopore long-read sequencing.

Bäckhed Lab

Our research group takes a translational research approach to investigate how the gut microbiota contributes to cardiometabolic disease.

We aim to increase the knowledge of the metagenome and explore how metabolites interacts in the processes for developing T2D and CVD.
