Trishla Sinha is investigating the impact of early life exposures, particularly the gut microbiome, on the later onset of diseases such as allergies, asthma, and obesity. Her solution involves studying 1500 mother-infant pairs, considering genetics, immune system, and environment, to develop novel preventive measures, including personalised nutrition, to modulate the gut microbiome and reduce the risk of these diseases in later life.

Trishla Sinha is an MD/PhD student at the University Medical Center Groningen. She works as a clinician scientist, delving deep into the functions of bacteria and viruses residing in the human gut and their role in human health. Trishla aims to identify factors that shape the maternal and infant gut microbiomes and viromes, with a particular focus on birth and environmental factors. Through this, she hopes to find key microbial factors linked with the onset of diseases later in life to work towards preventing them. Her research primarily involves the large prospective multi-omics cohort, Lifelines NEXT, which consists of about 1500 mother-infant pairs from the Northern Netherlands.
