A big month for Amilia, who just won an award for her poster presentation on gut-derived metabolites and the blood brain barrier at the 2025 Center for Neurodegenerative Disorders Symposium! See a photo of it in the lab photos tab.
Amilia challenged us all in her lab-themed amazing race program that got all the students racing across campus to pipette like pros. A well-deserved award for this and other wonderful activities she's a part of.
Amilia will participate in the ASM future leader membership fellowship program starting this May. Great job!
Among the highlights were the trainee poster session, where our own Precious Ijimakinwa did a great job presenting her poster on gut microbial bioelectrical signaling, and the closing meeting where Dr. Needham received the SNRI Outstanding Graduate Student Mentor Award. See photos in the tab above.
Jaymie Noland, graduate student, has just won a competition for original idea to employ MRI in the real world. She roasted turkeys and imaged them to finally answer how to avoid dry turkey at Thanksgiving. Reach out to her for the winning techniques.
As a P&S Fund investigator with BBRF, our lab will look closely at bacterial metabolites in clinical samples and their association with anxiety.
We are excited to receive funding to continue characterizing the mechanism of the gut-derived small molecule 4EPS.
Thank you to the Showalter Trustees for this wonderful honor
Anne Tanner has official joined the lab and will be doing exciting gut-health work.
Congratulations to Dr. Brittany Needham, who was just selected as one of the Searle Scholars this year.

Thank you to the Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute for the lab funding to study bacterial filaments used for signaling within the gut!
Thanks to the hard work by Precious Parker and Andrew Ortega, we have set up a state-of-the-art gnotobiotic facility. Reach out if you are interested in collaborating with this valuable resource.
