Just arrived in Mexico City.
In today’s rapidly shifting global landscape, we’re focused on deepening our relationship with Mexico to create good careers for our workers, strengthen supply chains, and build economic resilience across our nations.
The pleasure of presenting is mine but all the hard work comes from the trainees!
@VerduLab presented on the importance of intestinal microbiota in the modulation of celiac disease, highlighting bacterial metabolism in the small intestine!

🎓 We have a new doctor in the house! I’m thrilled to share that @MarkWulczynski has brilliantly defended his thesis, earning his PhD. Mark worked on the role of microbial small intestinal metabolism of fibre in celiac disease, with passion. Congratulations! @McMasterU
Check this issue of @AGA_Gastro featuring a new immune based diagnostics for celiac disease that avoids the need for painful and long challenges in those on a glute-free diet.
