Project Title

Gut Dysbiosis as a Mechanism Driving Increased Cancer Risks Among Night Shift Workers

Project Description

Our objective is to identify differences in gut microbial composition and function between night and day shift workers that contribute to the development of cancer. We will pay particular attention to differences that have been implicated in immune dysfunction. In addition, we will identify the specific aspects of night shift work (e.g., sleep disruption, decreased diet quality, decreased physical activity etc.) that are the primary drivers of cancer-causing gut dysbiosis, a critical step towards development of effective intervention strategies. Link to this study in REACH BC: <a href="https://reachbc.ca/project/896">https://reachbc.ca/project/896</a>
