• You will work actively on the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis in the field of pharmaco-epidemiology and the early life microbiome. The overall aim of the project is to assess how antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) affect the microbiome acquisition during early life (microbiome), how this affects the risk of common infections and immune-related outcomes such as asthma and allergies (translational) – and how large this impact could be on population level (drug utilization). With these studies we do hope to provide insights into the underlying pathways of microbiome-modulating drugs affecting our health, and to contribute to a more rational prescribing of antibiotics and PPIs – which are both still over-consumed often without evidence-based indications.
