Trishla Sinha

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.
