I’m working on 2 projects which partly overlap: the Growing Old Toghether Study (GOTO) and InControl. In GOTO we study the effect of a combined caloric restriction and exercise intervention on phenotypic profiles of offspring of families with exceptional longevity and their partners. InControl, financed by the Dutch Heart Foundation, is a project about the role of the gut microbiota and chronic inflammation as driver of cardiovascular disease. My main focus in the project is to get more insight in the effect of the metabolome and inflammation on cardiovascular diseases (CVD) risk in human cohorts and to investigate how the gut microbiome relates to the CVD risk profile.
