Excellent workshop by Verdu Lab Maureen Joel Lagos and Moran-Mirabal Group sharing their valuable insights and tips to enhance grant application skills! #LAHSSSI #LANMU Latin America Network at McMaster University LANMU McMaster University

Tryptophan is transformed by the host & microbiome into metabolites that shape mucosal homeostasis. .Harry Sokol, Verdu Lab, Bercik-Collins Lab et al. found tryptophan intervention strategies might help mitigate inflammatory conditions of the small intestine: journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

Great to have Premek Bercik Bercik-Collins Lab here to give a masterclass on gut-brain axis signaling #NSASMicrobiota2024

Inflammatory bowel disease is a global condition. On #WorldIBDDay, authors urge the IBD community to engage people living with IBD in efforts to: ➡️ Address unmet needs ➡️ Reduce disparities ➡️ Improve equitable access ➡️ Restore quality of life 🔗 buff.ly/4bGLUM7

Gut bacteria are the only key actors in the break of oral tolerance to gluten. .Verdu Lab et al. found protist Tritrichomonas arnold protects against viral-induced gluten intolerance: gutmicrobiotaforhealth.com/protist-tritri…

Celiac Canada joins Global News to talk about their new study - an update to a survey ran 20 years ago. The report sees a connection between neurological and gluten, and even touches on the affordability for those with CD shopping for gluten-free food. ow.ly/G0HZ50RTeRI

Thrilled to celebrate our McMaster University latinx graduates and faculty, and the incredible academic progress of the Latin American community in Canada. Special congratulations to my mentor, Elena Verdu Verdu Lab, an inspiring Latina leader! Latin America Network at McMaster University LANMU McMaster University

Our study led by Bercik-Collins Lab Verdu Lab Harry Sokol at McMaster University Farncombe Institute marks the first interventional exploration of oral #tryptophan effects in Aryl hydrocarbon receptor #AhR activation in humans. Excited to keep paving the way for future tryptophan interventions in GI!

I'm delighted to have contributed to this review article published in Gut Microbes on the role of the gut microbiome in disorders of gut-brain interaction. Congratulations to Narjis Kraimi, Taylor Ross (she/her), GiadaDePalma Bercik-Collins Lab tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

We are very proud to announce that after many many years in the make this seminal work by Dr. Philip and Dr. Kraimi is finally out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Parabéns/Felicitaciones to our very own Dr. Elena Verdú (Verdu Lab) 🇦🇷 for being appointed Director of Farncombe Family Digestive Health Research Institute (Farncombe Institute) 🎉🙌 Dr. Verdú is a champion & mentor for early career Latin American researchers/clinicians at McMaster University

📢NEW PAPER ALERT📢 Our latest paper in Gastroenterology sheds light on the immune role of the #intestinal epithelium in #celiacdisease by our talented Sara Rahmani Sara Rahmani Farncombe Institute @Didarlab Fernando Chirdo McMaster University #organoid Check it out here: gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-… ⬇️

Way to go! Countless-hours work from Sara Rahmani Verdu Lab Farncombe Institute McMaster Engineering McMaster University. A new step further identifying the role of intestinal epithelial cells in activating CD4+ T cells, crucial to celiac disease pathogenesis. Happy to be part of this amazing work!

Elena Verdu, professor McMaster University Department of Medicine and director Farncombe Institute, joined Degrees of Science to discuss the groundbreaking research that could potentially bring scientists closer to developing a treatment or cure for celiac disease. ow.ly/aYAI50T4cLK
