Divine Aleru, Microbiome Signatures Research Coordinator

About

I am a biochemist with a deep curiosity for the human microbiome and how it shapes human health, and I enjoy making microbiome science more accessible through research and writing. With 2 years experience in microbiome research, I have curated microbiome studies, analyzed microbial signatures, and now focus on interventions as a Microbiome Signatures and Interventions Research Coordinator.

Validation of Maltose Gel (Prebiotic) as a Microbiome-Targeted Intervention for Bacterial Vaginosis

Prebiotic Maltose Gel has emerged as a promising microbiome-targeted therapy for bacterial vaginosis (V), restoring vaginal health by selectively enhancing Lactobacillus populations and suppressing V-associated anaerobes. This dual-action intervention not only validates the gel’s therapeutic efficacy but also confirms the accuracy of V’s microbiome signature as a clinical marker.

Validation of Probiotic Therapy as a Microbiome-Targeted Intervention for Bacterial Vaginosis

Probiotic interventions, particularly those involving Lactobacillus crispatus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, restore balance to the vaginal microbiome in bacterial vaginosis (V). By reducing dominant anaerobes like Gardnerella vaginalis and promoting recolonization with protective Lactobacillus, these therapies validate both their role as microbiome-targeted interventions (BTIs) and the diagnostic accuracy of the V microbiome signature.

Validation of Essential Oils as a Microbiome-Targeted Intervention for Biofilms

Essential oils (Os) are emerging as powerful microbiome-targeted interventions for biofilm-associated infections (AIs). Backed by preclinical evidence, Os disrupt biofilm formation, reduce inflammation, and restore microbial balance. This validation supports their dual role in treating AIs and confirming the microbiome signature linked to the condition.

Validation of Bovine Lactoferrin as a Microbiome-Targeted Intervention for Bacterial Vaginosis

Bovine lactoferrin has emerged as a promising microbiome-targeted intervention (BTI) for bacterial vaginosis (V). Clinical and preclinical studies confirm its dual-action ability to restore Lactobacillus dominance and suppress V-associated pathogens like Gardnerella and Prevotella. These microbial shifts, combined with anti-inflammatory effects, validate both the efficacy of bovine lactoferrin and the diagnostic accuracy of the V microbiome signature.
