This article revealed potential transcriptional mechanisms by which the intestine adapts to diet and microbiota, and how microbiota may modulate intestinal lipid absorption and epithelial cell renewal. Published in Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, this… Colin Lickwar and colleagues publish article in CMGH
The Rawls lab is happy to welcome Liza Rassadkina, a new Ph.D. student in Duke’s Molecular Genetics and Microbiology Program.
Published in BMC Genomics, this article reveals that long-term starvation induces progressive changes in microbiome composition and host gene expression in the adult zebrafish intestine, and these changes are rapidly reversed after refeeding.
Congratulations and farewell to Dr. Lihua Ye on her new tenure-track faculty position in the Department of Neuroscience at the Ohio State University. Lihua trained as a postdoc under the mentorship of Dr. Rawls and… Dr. Lihua Ye moves to a new faculty position the Ohio State University
The Rawls lab is happy to welcome Julia Godwin, a new research technician who will be working with our lab and the Duke Zebrafish Core Facilities.
This article reveals microbial metabolism of bile salts and Fxr-bile salt signaling in zebrafish. Published in Science Advances, this article was also featured in Lab Animal.
This career development award will support Lihua’s research program investigating how enteroendocrine cells communicate microbial and chemical information from the intestinal lumen to the nervous system. Congratulations, Lihua!
This award will support Jay’s research into the genetic and biochemical mechanisms by which human gut bacteria colonize and compete within the intestine. Congratulations, Jay!
