Lindsay Hall PhD

Prof. Hall leads a multi-disciplinary team that is seeking to understand microbiome interactions, at the interface of the gut mucosa. We have a particular focus on the early life developmental window, as pregnancy and infancy, and the microbes that colonise during this time (e.g. Bifidobacterium), coincides with key physiological programming, and is when the foundations of future health are laid down. Our research programme is organised into 3 themes (i) microbe-diet interactions, (ii) infection resistance, and (iii) microbiota-host cross-talk.

Prof. Hall is the Chair of Intestinal Microbiome at TUM since 2020. She also holds a group leader position at the Quadram Institute, UK and is a Wellcome Trust Investigator. She obtained a BSc in Microbiology from the University of Glasgow, a PhD in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of Cambridge (Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute), and was a postdoctoral fellow at University College Cork, Ireland (APC Microbiome Institute). She was a Senior Lecturer at the University of East Anglia, before moving to Quadram end of 2015.
