Harsharn Gill

Professor Harsharn Gill is a faculty member at RMIT University's School of Science. His research focuses on diet, health, and disease, with a particular emphasis on gut microbiota, metabolic syndrome, and functional foods. He holds a professorial rank and supervises research projects spanning nutraceuticals, probiotics, and antimicrobial therapies.

**Research Interests**: Diet-health interactions, gut-immune health, probiotics, and the role of functional foods in chronic disease management. His work combines molecular docking studies, in vitro digestion modeling, and agricultural biotechnology to explore novel interventions for obesity, metabolic disorders, and microbial modulation.

**Recent Articles**: Prof. Gill's 2025 studies on human milk oligosaccharides and infant formula revealed their anti-inflammatory roles, while 2024 research demonstrated biostimulant-enhanced hemp and strawberry functional properties. His 2023 work includes molecular studies on anti-obesity compounds targeting PPARγ and Y1R receptors.

• Grants/Advising: Supervised over 15 PhD projects on topics like dietary modifications, cheese microbiota, and herbal medicine efficacy.
• Labs/Teams: Collaborates with food chemistry and agricultural teams at RMIT, focusing on functional food development and nutraceutical innovation.
