Digestive Physiology of Pig Conference,USA

I had the incredible honor of presenting my cutting-edge research at the prestigious DPP conference in May 2025, held at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, USA. Pictured here are my supervisor and my poster proudly displayed at the venue. My presentation showcased a breakthrough in vitro batch fermentation experiment analyzing seven distinct oligosaccharides and polysaccharides to identify promising novel prebiotics using a sophisticated piglet inoculum model. The findings revealed remarkable shifts in microbiota composition, significant short-chain fatty acid production, and detailed carbohydrate degradation patterns, highlighting the potential for transformative advances in gut health. This high-impact work is a key part of my PhD project, generously funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.
