... She has been the recipient of several awards for her research in this area, including the career development award for early career achievement and promise by the Society for Neuroscience, the Richard E Weitzman Memorial award as exceptionally promising investigator award by the Endocrine Society, the Medtronic Award from the Society for Women's Health Research for outstanding research that has led to the improvement of women's health, and most recently, the Daniel H

... Cani is a professor and senior researcher from the Belgian Fund for Scientific Research, and a group leader at the Louvain Drug Research Institute from University College London (UCL) , Brussels, Belgium.
From page 81...
... He is currently an assistant professor in the Immunology Institute and the Institute for Genomics and Multiscale Biology in the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. His research focuses on modeling the interactions between diet, gut microbes, and host physiology with an emphasis on inflammatory bowel disease.
From page 82...
... Her laboratory is focused on defining the dynamic interactions between the mucosal immune system and gut microbiota. The Garrett laboratory's experimental questions are grounded in understanding how interactions between intestinal microbial communities and the immune system contribute to the development of inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer.
From page 83...
... He has combined these models with human studies involving twins as well as members of birth cohorts living in low-, middle-, and highincome countries representing diverse geographic locations and cultural traditions. His group is focused on addressing the global health challenges of obesity and childhood undernutrition through new understanding of the interactions between diets and the gut microbiome and new ways of promoting healthy development of the gut community during the first several years of postnatal life.

... Donald E Ingber is the founding director of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University, the Judah Folkman Professor of Vascular Biology at Harvard Medical School, and the Vascular Biology Program at Boston Children's Hospital, and professor of bioengineering at the Harvard John A
From page 85...
... A major focus of the lab over the past decade has been to leverage common genetic variation in populations to integrate clinical traits with "intermediate" phenotypes obtained using highthroughput technologies, such as expression arrays, sequencing, or proteomics, an approach known as "systems genetics." To facilitate this approach, they have developed a reference resource termed the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel that can be used to carry out whole genome association mapping. Andrew J
From page 86...
... For the next 10 years he wore multiple hats at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, including facility manager, assistant professor of surgery and pathology, and clinical veterinarian overseeing surgery and radiological research support. In 1996 he became a diplomat of the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine and concurrently completed a postdoctoral training program in experimental pathobiology, assisting in the development of the animal models for the team that eventually led to the current human papilloma virus vaccine.
From page 87...
... He is an assistant professor in the Alkek Center for Metagenomics and Microbiome Research and Department of Molecular Virology and Microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine. He earned two bachelor's degrees (magna cum laude with honors)

... R Balfour Sartor, distinguished professor of medicine, microbiology, and immunology; director of the University of North Carolina Multidisciplinary Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center; and director of the Broad Medical Research Program at the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA)
From page 89...
... She is the immediate past president of the Chicago branch of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science and president elect for both the Association for Gnotobiotics, which is currently being revitalized, and the International Society for Gnotobiology. She has received a Distinguished Leader in Program Development and Distinguished Faculty Award from The University of Chicago, as well as the Bengt E
From page 90...
... He was the inaugural director and chair of the Scientific Advisory Board for the American Gastroenterological Association Center for Gut Microbiome Research and Education and is an elected member of both the American Society for Clinical Investigation and the American Association of Physicians. Research programs in the Wu laboratory focus on the mutualistic interactions between the gut microbiota and its host, with a particular emphasis on metabolism, including nitrogen balance, intestinal oxygen regulation, and epithelial intermediary metabolism.
From page 91...
... He is also involved in projects that look at microbial communities in the lungs of patients with HIV infection and cystic fibrosis. Current research in the Young Lab includes a "team science" effort to understand the pathogenesis of Clostridium difficile infection by an integrated approach that combines clinical research, bacterial genomics, microbial ecology, and immunology/host response projects.
