Martin Iain Bahl is a Researcher at DTU's National Food Institute, focusing on gut microbiome dynamics, antibiotic resistance, and probiotic development. His research examines how dietary components and pharmaceuticals impact microbial communities.

Key research areas include:

• Antibiotic effects on gut microbiota
• Probiotic engineering
• Microbiome-chemical contaminant interactions
• Molecular analysis methods

Recent studies demonstrate how soluble fibers enhance toxin elimination and how engineered probiotics may treat inflammatory bowel diseases.

Laboratory capabilities include advanced microbial culturing, PCR, qPCR, DNA sequencing, and whole-cell biosensor technologies.
