Project details
Investigating the Gut Microbiome and Metabolome in Allergic Cats
This project aims to investigate the gut microbiome and metabolome in cats diagnosed with Feline Atopic Skin Syndrome. By including both allergic cats and a matched control group, researchers will be able to uncover significant differences in gut health between these populations. Utilizing advanced methodologies such as Illumina MiSeq sequencing and high-resolution mass spectrometry, the study seeks to identify potential therapeutic targets for managing this prevalent condition. This research is conducted in collaboration with Prof. Jan Suchodolski from Texas A&M University, a leading expert in veterinary gut microbiota. The insights gained from this project could enhance our understanding of the pathogenesis of allergies in cats and pave the way for innovative treatment strategies. Ultimately, this study represents a significant step forward in improving the quality of life for cats suffering from allergies.
