Lukasz krych
Lukasz Krych is an assosiate professor at Department of Food Science, University of Copenhagen. His main research activities includes: Iinvestigating and understanding the association between gut microbiome and health and disease in human and animal models. Molecular genetic methods and classical microbiology methods for detection, identification and characterization of complex microbial communities. Detection of bacteria, yeast and phages related to food processing and food pathogens. Investigating the influence of diet into microbial composition in in-vivo and in-vitro models of the mammalian gastro intestinal tract. Development and optimization of protocols for 2nd (Illumina based), 3rd (Oxford Nanopores) generation sequencing and high throughput qPCR. Research and development of modern molecular assays used in diagnostics of genetic disorders and pathogen detection in close collaboration with foreign partners GenXone –one of the first in Europe certified laboratory of Oxford Nanopore Technologies. NGS data analysis including amplicon sequencing and metagenomes assembly and annotation (Qiime, C++, R, Matlab, bash). Computer science: hardware assembly and software management of custom-built computers. Construction of Unix-based workstations for advanced data analysis, including servers.

Yan Hui
Yan is a Postdoc from the research group Microbial diversity and function in Gut and Food at Department of Food Science, University of Copenhagen. Under the supervision of Prof. Dennis Sandris Nielsen and Prof. Per Torp Sangild, he obtained a Ph.D. degree in microbiology with a focus on bioinformatic analysis of the preterm gut microbiome. In the past years, he has shown considerable expertise in analyzing second and third-generation sequencing data and multivariate analysis on microbiome data, creating/contributing to several open-source bioinformatics tools on GitHub (yanhui09).
