CSIRO Health and Biosecurity
Dr Shakuntla Gondalia has worked extensively in area of applied microbiology since 2006. Her research has focused on gut microbiota to understand its role in psychological health and disease condition, leading numerous projects examining the role of gut microbiota in human cognition through Gut-Microbiome-Brain axis. Her work involved pre-clinical and clinical trials to modulate gut microbiome composition through diet, prebiotics and probiotics. Dr Gondalia’s goal is to contribute to the community through evidence-based research that positively influence public health and wellbeing. Further, she is a mother of a boy, a microbiome storyteller and gut health communicator. She actively support women in science and STEM in school education.
