π Mouse models are typically used in studies on the microbiota-gut-brain axis -- but can primate models help accelerate what scientists know? Check out this first-of-its-kind study on the behavioral effects of depleting the gut microbiota in marmosets.

Working hard in the lab to process samples and find out more about reproduction, nutrition and microbiome for the benefit of chimpanzee conservation. @JaneGoodallInst @kdange @amores_wildlife@monkey_doc
We are thrilled to share that @ASPvoice's 2020 Conservationist Award is being presented to Dr. Stan Kivai at the Institute of Primate Research in Nairobi, Kenya in recognition of his exceptional work protecting African primates and engaging in conservation outreach!
Our new study is out, led by Dimitri Sidiropoulos, and conducted in @KnightsDan lab. We created "primatized mice" and showed that wild primate microbes reduce obesity in germ-free mice.

Microbiome-linked diseases on the rise (Crohn's, MS, Type 1 Diabetes) in humans. There's a lot we don't know about the primate microbiome! Check out the Primate Microbiome Project (PMP; https://t.co/TtdS3XwwK0)! @monkey_doc#IPSNairobi@primatemicrobes
My collaborators and I just published a comprehensive review of nonhuman primate gut microbiome research. Congratulations to the @primatemicrobes team on getting this published. We hope this review proves most helpful! https://t.co/tsPog2V4U5
