Excited to share our recent publication in this month's issue of mBio, based on my PhD research. We show that replication of 𝘛. 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘪 is required to trigger a localized immune response in the brain! 🧠 https://t.co/83bU7oN3T7

@kzengeler @BIG_Center_UVA @LukensJohnR Congratulations!!!

[Kristine Zengeler @kzengeler]

Happy to share our work on hippocampal inflammasome signaling. Thank you to members of the lab for critical experimental support, @BIG_Center_UVA colleagues for input, and @LukensJohnR for baller mentorship - it's been an honor working with you all! https://t.co/ISuq46hLPz

Thrilled to share this collaborative work by Kristie Yu, Francis Chandra, Amina Schartup and teams @Scripps_Ocean and @UCLA showing that an engineered gut bacterium can reduce the neurotoxic effects of dietary methylmercury https://t.co/MHNUwgumJ6

Maternal microbiome is a cornerstone of maternal and fetal health.
@stephorch & @pipethero @UCLA highlight gut microbiome x environmental interactions at the maternal-fetal interface that influence the brains of pregnant people & developing offspring: https://t.co/bnUtPWmQ7q

[Stephanie Orchanian @stephorch]

Curious about how the gut microbiome modulates the neurological health of pregnant women and their offspring? Check out my recent review with @pipethero out now @jclinicalinvest! 🦠🤰👶🧠

Excited to announce that the MinD-Gut Lab is kicking off in 2025, and we’re already looking for PhD students to join our research team @LSUAgCenter!! Please contact us! Check out the Nutrition and Food Science PhD program at LSU!

[Stephanie Orchanian @stephorch]

Grad students and postdocs, the 2025 GRS: Neuroimmune Communication in Health and Disease in Lucca, Italy, has reached over 70% acceptance capacity! If you're interested in attending, sign up soon at https://t.co/y0QQ5op2jC.
@yan_zhaoqi and I look forward to seeing you there! 🧠

[Ezgi Özcan💩🦠🧠👩‍🔬 @eozcan_MinDgut]

The MinD-Gut lab will open in Jan 2025 at the School of Nutrition and Food Sciences of @LSUAgCenter to investigate the science of microbe and diet interactions in gut-brain connection. Motivated humans to study nutrition-gut-brain communication in the heart of LA come this way

[Stephanie Orchanian @stephorch]

Grad students and postdocs- Registration for the 2025 GRS: Neuroimmune Communication in Health and Disease in Lucca, Italy is officially open! Spots are limited so sign up soon at https://t.co/y0QQ5op2jC! @yan_zhaoqi and I look forward to seeing you there! Please RT!

@QuinaScience @lissathechemist @UCIBioSci @UCIMedSchool Well deserved!!!!

[Stephanie Orchanian @stephorch]

Excited to announce that I was selected by the UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program and, starting today, am ~officially~ a UCLA Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow!🥳Thank you to everyone who supported me in this especially #UCLARiseToTheChallenge and my PI @pipethero! 🙌🏼

[Stephanie Orchanian @stephorch]

@tinoco_lab @UCIBioSci @UC_PPFP @SD_IRACDA @MelanomaReAlli @NIAIDFunding @DeptofDefense Congratulations Roberto! 🥳🎉

[Elaine Hsiao @pipethero]

Excited to share this paper in final form, now with more supporting experiments in supplement and main figs! https://t.co/3fxcRQ90Jr Many thanks to @PingFan78765311 and colleagues for their hard work and dedication through this journey.

For the AAI attendees interested in #neuroimmunology and #neurodegeneration, come stop by my poster to talk about microglial SYK signaling in tauopathies! I am poster number B621 on May 5th 🧠🦠

[Stephanie Orchanian @stephorch]

I couldn’t call myself a microbiologist if I went to Amsterdam and DIDN’T stop at #Micropia. Although I couldn’t find 𝑇. 𝑔𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑖, I did find another Apicomplexan parasite! Can you tell which one? 👩🏻‍🔬🧫🔬

@QuinaScience The bucket hat 😭

[Elaine Hsiao @pipethero]

Excited to share new research by Elena Coley-O'Rourke and colleagues showing that the microbiome modifies adverse effects of maternal protein undernutrition on offspring brain development and behavior! https://t.co/iEp31dvZ2Y
