The goal of the Gilliam Fellowship Program is to increase the diversity among scientists who are prepared to assume leadership roles in science. This award will support Bri’s professional and leadership development, as well as her… Graduate student, Briana Davis, is awarded a HHMI Gilliam Fellowship for Advanced Study
The Rawls lab is happy to welcome Dr. Matthew Tillman, a new postdoctoral fellow. Matt recently completed his Ph.D. in Molecular and Systems Pharmacology at Emory University with Dr. Eric Ortlund.
This award will support her research on microbiota-sensitive transcriptional programs that maintain intestinal homeostasis. Congratulations, Cece!
John Rawls and Lawrence David representing the Duke Microbiome Center (DMC) were among the coauthors of a new article in Nature Microbiology that explains the proliferation of microbiome centers at many institutions, as well as their… New article describes emergence of microbiome centers
Lihua Ye, a postdoctoral fellow dually mentored by John Rawls and Rodger Liddle, used in vivo imaging in zebrafish to reveal that sensory enteroendocrine cells in the intestine undergo a novel microbiota-dependent adaptation following consumption… Postdoctoral fellow Lihua Ye publishes article in eLife
Erin Curtis is rotating in the Rawls lab as a first year student in Duke’s Molecular Genetics and Microbiology Program. Welcome, Erin!
Congratulations to Ted Espenschied on the successful defense of his Ph.D. dissertation! It was entitled “Chemical and Microbial Regulation of Epithelial Homeostasis and Innate Immunity”.
Working with other members of the Rawls, Tobin, and Redinbo labs, Ted revealed that delamination of intestinal epithelial cells is a protective response to chemical injury in the zebrafish intestine, and uncovered a critical role… Graduate student Ted Espenschied publishes article in PNAS
