Lesley Hoyles

Lesley Hoyles is Professor of Microbiome and Systems Biology at Nottingham Trent University. Her research team's work focuses on characterising host–microbiota interactions, combining microbiology and bioinformatics approaches in vitro and in vivo to understand how members of the gastrointestinal microbiota function and influence human health and disease. She has made seminal contributions to understanding how microbiome-associated metabolites contribute to fatty liver disease and the integrity of the blood–brain barrier, and, more recently, to the human exposome.
