Heading to Herborn in Hesse, Germany this week for the 37th Old Herborn Seminar on Microbiome & Neurological Diseases (July 17–18)! Excited to share our work on the gut microbiome in MS. Thanks to Rochellys, Tillmann & Peter Heidt. #GutMicrobiome #MSresearch #Neuroimmunology

Thrilled to be part of latest work from Dr. Jia Luo's lab showing binge-like alcohol exposure induces #gutdysbiosis in a #breastcancer model (MMTV-Wnt1 mice), even in adolescents! This could drive inflammation & tumor promotion. frontiersin.org/journals/oncol… #GutMicrobiome University of Iowa

CSF cell analysis is key to understanding neurological diseases but has been limited by cell fragility. Millet Wallisky et al. introduce a rapid, one-step method for efficient CSF immune profiling Check out the paper below 👇 jni-journal.com/article/S0165-…

A student has created a new comic to highlight MS's hidden's symptoms. University of Aberdeen PhD student Claire Robertson hopes it can make the info more accessible/engaging. Her father has MS. Interview/comic on MSTrust: mstrust.org.uk/news/stories/m… BBC story bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Incredible time at #OldHerbornUniversity Seminar Series! Presented on MS microbiome, & received honorary professorship to OHUS! Such a humbling, old-style ceremony. Grateful to be part of this amazing group. Huge 🙏to Tillman, Rochellys Heijtz & organizing committee! #Microbiome

Great pleasure to discuss our recent work with Caroline from MS Society UK which showed that ratio of beneficial to pathogenic bacteria better marker for disease than a single bacterium. #microbiome #multiplesclerosis #gutmicrobiome #bifidobacterium

Congratulations to Prerna Rastogi, MD, PhD, who has been appointed as Medical Director of the University of Iowa Diagnostic Laboratories (UIDL)!

We are ecstatic to announce the opening of the newly renovated Histology Research Laboratory. Headed by Kimberly Fiock, PhD as Technical Director and David Meyerholz, DVM, PhD as Medical Director, the HRL is a research core for the Department of Pathology.

Big thanks to the Karandikarian, Mangalaminions & Boydenian labs for the surprise red velvet cake (my favorite!) 🎂 Special shoutout to Jeanie for the epic minion cartoon of me, definitely presentation material! Dr. K cut the cake like a pro! 🎉💛 #Grateful #LabLife

Delighted to share our paper. ➡️ COVID-19 VAX boosters improve the longevity and cross-variant breadth of immune responses in #MS ➡️ machine-learning models predict protection or need of an extra booster. neurology.org/doi/10.1212/NX… AnnekeVdWalt Sudarshini Ramanathan Stuart Turville Sydney Health

NEW: Tippie’s #IowaMBA ranked #4 among public online MBA programs & #6 among all programs, according to The Princeton Review. 🌟 bit.ly/44MqrRt

This was a labor of love requiring lots of teamwork over years, repeating in 3 locations! Thanks to all the lab over the years, giving their time generously to this team project, & our wonderful collaborators. The source of fat matters for anti-tumor immunity 🐄🐖🧈🌴🫒🥥

Congratulations to Dr. Mariah Hassert for receiving a K99/00 Pathway to Independence Award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases! Dr. Hassert received this award for her proposal "Hemozoin and liver stage malaria vaccine efficacy."

What will be the game-changers in how #MultipleSclerosis is managed over the next few decades? 🧠🌍 At a recent MS meeting with Central & South American delegates, Prof. Gavin Giovannoni shared his thoughts.👇 #MS #FutureOfMedicine #NeuroTwitter #MSCare #GlobalHealth #MSResearch

That’s right, I started to study role of #gutmicrobiome in people with #MultipleSclerosis in early 2017, shotgun sequencing, analysis, validation in animal model took almost 7 years. Sudeep Ghimire led this project where we show that ratio of specific bacteria as disease marker

A huge shout-out to Olivia Frantum, a rising junior from University of Iowa, who worked with Apurva Patel, to study the role of the microbiome in #colorectalcancer. Her fantastic poster presentation & hard work prove she has a bright future in science! #UndergraduateResearch
