David Riglar is an Assistant Professor at Imperial College London, working in the Department of Infectious Disease. His research focuses on the gut microbiota, which are essential for maintaining human health. Changes in the composition and function of gut microbiota have been associated with a wide range of important diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, and neurodevelopmental disorders. David's lab utilizes a combination of synthetic biology, imaging, and sequencing-based approaches to understand how gut microbiota contribute to health and disease. He aims to develop innovative technologies, including engineered probiotics, to diagnose and treat diseases related to the gut. With a strong educational background, David completed his PhD at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Australia, where he researched the malaria parasite's effects on red blood cells using advanced imaging techniques. He has received several awards for his postdoctoral work and is passionate about mentoring enthusiastic individuals interested in research opportunities in his lab.
