Airi Marjatta Palva - Epidemiology

Author Information

Airi Marjatta Palva is a prominent researcher affiliated with the Department of Veterinary Biosciences, Veterinary Microbiology and Epidemiology at the University of Helsinki, Finland. Her work primarily focuses on microbiology and epidemiology, with a significant emphasis on the molecular characteristics of bacterial adhesins and their role in the gut microbiome.

Research Contributions

Airi Marjatta Palva has made substantial contributions to the field of microbiology, particularly in understanding the structural and functional aspects of bacterial pilus proteins in gut-dwelling bacteria. Her research has provided critical insights into the crystal structures of various pilus adhesins, such as SpaC from Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, and their role in bacterial adhesion and colonization. Her work includes the characterization of mucus-adherent derivatives of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG, advancing the knowledge of probiotic functionalities and their potential applications in food science and human health.
