معرفی
Chantal Matar is a Full Professor specializing in Nutrition Sciences, focusing on probiotics, cancer research, and immunomodulation. Her work integrates microbiology, molecular biology, and dietary interventions to address cancer stem cells, inflammation, and epigenetic mechanisms.
Key research areas include the development of probiotic bacteria (e.g., Rouxiella badensis), polyphenol-enriched foods (e.g., blueberries), and their roles in preventing cancers (breast, skin, reproductive systems) and mitigating immune dysregulation. She explores age- and sex-specific effects of probiotics on pubertal immune responses and neurobehavioral outcomes.
Her studies often involve miRNA regulation, gut-brain axis interactions, and preclinical models of inflammation and cancer. Collaborative efforts focus on translational applications of probiotics and fermented foods in clinical settings.
Recent work highlights synergies between dietary interventions and epigenetic modulation, with implications for personalized nutrition and oncology.
