[Michael Neugent PhD @MikeNeug]

I’m thrilled to announce that the Neugent Lab will officially set sail on May 1st, 2026!

I am joining the Department of Urology at the University of Rochester Medical Center @URMCUrology as a tenure-track assistant professor. My lab will investigate how we can manipulate the ecosystem of host/microbiome interfaces to impact urologic health.

Our work will bridge the spectrum from benign, malignant, and infectious diseases.

I'm honored to join the @URMCUrology team and can't wait to get to work. Stay tuned for updates on recruitment opportunities as we build our team of scientists!

Excited to share our new paper in @AEMjournal. We examined how dietary oils affect black soldier fly larval performance, gut microbiome structure, and biomass composition. A great example of how host physiology, nutrition, and the microbiome intersect.

#MicrobiologyMonday: Bunsen burners are used to reduce airborne contamination. Data in #JournalSpectrum suggest the practice is not evidence-based and, except in some cases, Bunsen burners can be removed from practice w/o compromising research integrity. https://t.co/1UCgN7UVb2

2 identical mice. Same infection & bacterial load, but only 1 lives. Why? #HHMIInvestigator Janelle Ayres spent decades finding out. Her answer — survival can come through cooperating w/, not killing, pathogens — may reshape how we treat infectious disease https://t.co/qTbiaoQ7Fw
