Prof. Dr. Bahtiyar Yilmaz is a Group Leader at the Department of Biomedical Research (DBMR) at the University of Bern. His research focuses on the interplay between the gut microbiota, immunity, and disease, spanning infectious diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- University: University of Bern
- Department: Department of Biomedical Research (DBMR)
Research Interests: Yilmaz investigates how gut microbiota influences health and disease. His work explores microbial translocation, gut-liver and gut-brain axes, antimicrobial resistance in wildlife, and microbiota-driven immune responses in conditions like Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and IBD.
Recent Publications (all in 2025) highlight his multidisciplinary approach, including studies on:
- Microbial drivers of surgical site infections
- Chromatin accessibility in microglia linked to Alzheimer’s
- Antimicrobial resistance in livestock and wildlife
- Small intestinal microbiota dynamics under dietary changes
- Gut microbiota’s role in valvular heart disease
- Evolutionary adaptation in gut microbes
His work bridges microbiology, immunology, and computational modeling to address clinical challenges in infectious and chronic diseases.
