Biography
Santosh Lamichhane is Research council of Finland, Academy Research fellow. He has title of Docent which is eqiuvalent to Assoc. Prof. in Metabolomics at Department of Life Technologies, University of Turku.
During his research fellowship Lamichhane will study the connection between gut microbiota and lipids and their clinical effects in early childhood.
Lamichhane has been Visiting Researcher at The Dorrestein Lab at University of San Diego, California. During his visit he learned the reverse and reporsitory scale metabolomics to understand chemistry of the microbes and how it impacts the human metabolism.
Teaching
Metabolomics lecture in Systems biology (SYS21012), Modern biotechnologies and bioinformatics course (BIOT1524), Bioanalytical Techniques (CHEMI6429) at University of Turku.
Research
Lamichhane's research interest lies in the interface of human health, diet and gut microbial activity. He wants to connect these dots (health, diet, microbes) by profiling small molecules (termed as metabolites), which circulates in our body. To be very specific Lamichhanes core interest are reflected by following keywords:
- Metabolomics-Metabolites-Small molecules
- Human Nutrition and health
- Pre and Probiotics / Gut Microbiome
- Human intervention study
Relating to Lamichhane's experience, he has spent approximately a decade profiling small molecules in relation to human heath and (or) gut metabolome. He is open to collaborations relating to gut, health, metabolites and microbiome.
