Novena, Singapore Nanyang Technological University Full time

The Hwei-Ee Tan lab studies the biological basis of “gut-feelings”, how bacteria in the gut signals to the host to influence physiology and behaviour. Using mice as a mammalian model, the lab investigates how diet (e.g. high-fibre food, spicy food, etc) modulates the gut microbiome and host phenotypes (e.g. hunger, anxiety behaviours, etc). His lab is also studying the brain-gut axis, to uncover host-microbe interactions in chronic stress and major depressive disorders. Being multidisciplinary in nature, the research scope covers diverse skills from molecular biology to systems neuroscience, physiology and behaviour.
