Biography

Santosh Lamichhane is a Research Council of Finland Academy Research Fellow. He holds the title of Docent, equivalent to Associate Professor, in Metabolomics at the Department of Life Technologies, University of Turku.

As part of his research fellowship, Lamichhane will investigate the relationship between gut microbiota, lipids, and their clinical effects in early childhood.

Lamichhane has also been a Visiting Researcher at The Dorrestein Lab, University of California, San Diego, where he gained expertise in reverse and repository-scale metabolomics to better understand microbial chemistry and its influence on 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.
