As of September 2024, Chinmay Dwibedi started his new position as a Group Leader at MIMS and a DDLS fellow in the research area of epidemiology and biology of infection. The Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) program is coordinated by SciLifeLab and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation to train and recruit the next generation of life scientists who can create a strong computational and data science base and strengthen competencies in today’s research society.
Chinmay Dwibedi received his PhD in microbial genomics from Umeå University while performing his research at the Swedish Defense research agency [FOI]. After a year spent in the industry, where he worked on developing live biotherapeutic from human fecal material, he moved to University of Gothenburg for his postdoc period. There, he worked with Prof. Fredrik Bäckhed and Prof. Anders Rosengren where he contributed to the development of next generation probiotics and combined human gut microbiota profile with pathophysiology to develop precision drug response in individuals with prediabetes and type-2 diabetes.
Chinmay’s lab, located at the Department of Clinical Microbiology, will focus on high resolution metagenomic analysis to explore functional differences among bacteria strains and investigate adaptive evolution of gut bacteria in response to changes in the host.
MIMS is the Swedish partner in the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine.
Conducts research in host microbial interactions and immune system mechanisms.
