Biography
Dr Susan Joyce graduated with a B.Sc (joint hons) from NUI Maynooth in Biology and Mathematics and a research PhD in host-microbe interactions. She was awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship to examine cis and trans acting factors affecting mRNA synthesis and gene expression at the Ecole Normal Superieure, Paris which included a stint at the Max Planck Institute, Berlin. Before returning to UCC, Dr Joyce was a postdoctoral scientist at Trinity College Dublin and the Univerity of Bath, UK. Dr Joyces’ main interest is in microbial genetic and biochemical systems that alter eukaryotic host response. She is currently a Lecturer in the School of Biochemistry and Cell Biology and a funded Investigator in the APC Microbiome Ireland as part of the Spoke 4 Host- Microbe Dialogue.Research Interests
I am interested in the genetic and biochemical basis of host-microbe interactions, their regulation and outcomes. RESEARCH GROUP OVERVIEW: Gut health is shaped by diet, environment and gut microbial changes as well as host genetics. The influence of these combined factors contributes to processes including gut development and homeostasis, immune function and local and systemic signalling in defining health outcomes. The lab is interested in dissecting how these different and combined factors can impact health, disease and longevity. The group has focused on microbial host-metabolite and dietary modification impacting the host (including drug uptake, adiposity, circadian rhythm, immune functions) and signalling processes to identity key areas for therapeutic approaches. We apply targeted and untargeted metabolomic approaches, animal models, cell systems and bacterial molecular and cellular biology to address our questions.Research Grants
