Parag Kundu

About

Professor Parag Kundu heads the unit for Microbiota-Host Interactions at The Centre for Microbes, Development and Health at Institute Pasteur Shanghai-CAS, Shanghai. The main interest of his unit is to understand the evolving gut microbiota-host relations during distinct milestones across the lifespan of a host. His current research is focused at understanding the molecular mechanisms through which gut microbiota influences key stem cell signalling pathways and functions during homeostasis or dysbiosis across host age.
