Elena Biagi's recent publications illustrate a range of research interests centered on microbiomes and environmental interactions. Selected recent papers are:

  • Elevated gut microbiome abundance of Christensenellaceae, Porphyromonadaceae and Rikenellaceae is associated with reduced visceral adipose tissue and healthier metabolic profile in Italian elderly, 2021, Gut Microbes
  • Shotgun Metagenomics of Gut Microbiota in Humans with up to Extreme Longevity and the Increasing Role of Xenobiotic Degradation, 2020, mSystems
  • Microbiomes other than the gut: inflammaging and age-related diseases, 2020, Seminars in Immunopathology
  • Tissue-scale microbiota of the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and its relationship with the environment, 2020, The Science of The Total Environment
  • Components of a Neanderthal gut microbiome recovered from fecal sediments from El Salt, 2021, Communications Biology

Their research has been disseminated frequently through several publication venues, with notable recurrent appearances in The Science of The Total Environment, SSRN Electronic Journal, Frontiers in Marine Science, European Journal of Pediatrics, and Microorganisms.
