We study the complex interplay between colon cancer cells, intracellular metabolites, microbiome and microbial metabolites in the gut using a data-driven approach. Our aim is to identify metabolic vulnerabilities that can be exploited for developing novel drugs and therapeutic strategies against colon cancer. We work at the intersection of multiple disciplines including proteomics, metabolomics, rRNA sequencing, biochemistry and biophysics (e.g. NMR and Cryo-EM) and validate our results in relev
