Ahmad Ud Din
Postdoctoral Research Scholar
Bio
Dr. Ahmad Ud Din completed his PhD in 2019. He joined Dr. Andrew Neilson at PHHI where he conducts advanced independent and/or directed research with a focus on the interaction between plant-derived phytochemicals, the human microbiome, and nutrition/health and evaluation of dietary phytochemicals and microbial metabolites in animal models.
His research interests include interplay between gut microbiome dysbiosis and interventions through prebiotics, probiotic and how they relate to different diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis) and colon cancer using various mouse models. His publications can be found in journals including the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy, Genes & Disease, Cell Death Discovery, etc. Dr. Din is open to share ideas and work in collaboration. He has wide knowledge in multidisciplinary research area and connecting that to gut microbiome.
Research keywords: Fermentation, Probiotics, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Gut Microbiome, CVD, Diabetes, Colitis, Atherosclerosis, miRNA, Antibiotic Resistance, Microbial Metabolites. (TMA, TMAO, Colibactin, SCFA, Imidazole Propionate, AHL; AhR/IL-22).
