Minhal Presents a TEDx

Minhal presented a talk digging into some of the exciting new research into the gut microbiome. Details on the talk below: How does our gut speak to us? This talk explores the fascinating new evidence linking the bacteria in our gut to various unexpected aspects of our health, including psychological disorders like anxiety and depression. […]

Undergraduates Graduate!

Congrats to all of our Undergraduates who have worked in the lab and graduated today!   Good luck to them on the next path of their lives.
