Maggie Stanislawski

University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus

Department of Biomedical Informatics

The Stanislawski’s research focuses on the role of the gut microbiome in health and disease, particularly concerning obesity, cardiometabolic diseases, and inflammatory conditions. Her research involves examining how different dietary interventions, such as intermittent fasting and caloric restriction, affect the microbiome and related molecular profiles like metabolomics and DNA methylation. Stanislawski's work aims to understand how these dietary changes impact the microbiome and how individual responses can guide personalized approaches to diet and exercise for optimal health outcomes. Additionally, she investigates the variability of these molecular profiles across diverse populations to study their influence on cardiometabolic and inflammatory diseases.
