Jonathan Swann

Jonathan Swann is a Professor of Biomolecular Medicine in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Southampton and Visiting Professor in the Department of Metabolism, Digestion, and Reproduction at Imperial College London and the Department of Neuroscience at the Karolinska Institute. He leads a metabolomic-based research programme to understand the influence of gene-environment interactions on the mammalian metabolic system and their implications for development, health, and disease. His primary interests involve studying the metabolic interactions between the gut microbiome and the mammalian host and how these can be manipulated by microbial modulators (pre, pro, postbiotics) to optimize human health. This includes human development, diet interactions, drug metabolism, various disease processes, and the gut-brain axis.
