We're looking for a Research Associate/Technician to join our lab studying microbiome-immune interactions in the gut. We are open to recent college graduates and/or applicants expecting to graduate soon. Previous research experience is helpful, but not required.

If you’re interested in host-microbiota interactions but like your microbes with membrane bound organelles then our paper on symbiotic protists is for you @CellCellPress . Congrats @GerrickElias and a huge thank you to all our collaborators!

The differing metabolisms of commensal protists and bacteria in the gut microbiome shape the ability of these distinct microbes to interact with and modulate each other and the host immune system.

I hadn't thought much about the reptile microbiome before but @GerrickElias curiosity and pet tortoise inspired this story on intestinal protists in wild and domestic reptiles. Big thanks to our collaborators Tim @maddreptiles and Freeland @calacademy .

Why do intestinal tuft cells sense succinate when it doesn’t appear to help them clear parasites? Our collab with the Salzman lab at MCW sheds some light on this question. Congrats Connie, Lisa, and Gabe @gabebarron for all your great work! @PNASNews .

Check out this really cool story from the Moltke Lab @jakob_moltke @TBillipp showing how acetylcholine from tuft cells can regulate epithelial fluid secretion and help clear worm infections from the gut! Excited to have been involved in this incredible work.

I am super excited to share @TBillipp's incredible work showing that acetylcholine from tuft cells regulates epithelial fluid secretion across tissues and contributes to helminth clearance from the SI. Thank you to @HowittLab for critical contributions!
