About me
Hello! I'm Chandana Kumari V.B, Ph.D.
Exploring the Science of Life, Health, and Microbial Wonders.
I am deeply passionate about exploring the complexities of the human gut. With a Ph.D. in Life Sciences, my work focuses on the microscopic world, particularly probiotics and the gut microbiome. My research has contributed to understanding how these microorganisms can influence some of today’s most significant health challenges, including diabetes and obesity. The potential to improve health from within is an exciting frontier, and I am committed to advancing this important area of science.
Outside of my research, I continuously seek to stay informed about emerging trends in health and science. Driven by intellectual curiosity, determination, and a commitment to improving well-being, I believe the microbiome holds transformative potential for creating healthier lives.

Understanding the intricate interplay between the gut microbiome and human health is essential for addressing pressing health challenges. My research focuses on unraveling the complex roles of probiotics in promoting metabolic health, particularly in relation to diabetes and obesity. I employ a variety of methodologies, including molecular biology techniques and in vitro assays, to explore the mechanisms by which these microorganisms influence physiological processes. My interests can be categorized into several broad themes:
Probiotic Functionality and Mechanisms
Investigating how probiotics interact with host systems and their potential to modulate metabolic pathways.
Gut Microbiome Dynamics
Examining the composition and functional capacities of the gut microbiome and its impact on overall health and disease states.
Metabolic Disorders
Understanding the relationship between gut health and metabolic disorders, particularly diabetes and obesity, to identify therapeutic strategies.
Molecular Mechanisms of Action
Exploring the biochemical pathways and cellular interactions involved in the health-promoting effects of probiotics.
