Mujeeb Ur Rahman, a PhD candidate at Key Laboratory of Organism, Micro-ecology and Disease control, College of Basic Medical Sciences (CBMS) Dalian Medical University, Liaoning Province, China, investigates the biological activities of food extracts in models of colitis, pneumonia, and immuno-suppression. His research examines the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of bioactive food compounds, hypothesizing they may attenuate disease by favorably modulating microbiota and immune responses. He screens extracts for bioactive metabolites and anti-inflammatory effects in vitro. Promising extracts are evaluated in vivo utilizing mouse disease models. Outcomes assessed include disease severity, immune cell populations, and microbiome changes. Elucidating mechanisms by which food extracts impact disease could identify novel therapeutics from natural sources, while also providing insights into diet-microbiome-immunity interactions. This research aims to harness the disease-alleviating potential of functional foods.
