About the person
Research focus:
My research interests include immunometabolic effects and adaptations in response to physical exercise. I am specifically investigating the influence of acute and chronic physical exercise on tryptophan metabolism and its interaction with the immune system in healthy and clinical populations. Longer-term objective of my work is to elucidate underlying mechanisms of exercise-induced health benefits to finally develop and optimize targeted and efficient exercise programs and recommendations.
