Dr Elena Verdu, @VerduLab giving a brilliant presentation at our Division Farncombe noon rounds on Celiac disease- highlighting issues with inequities in global prevalence. We need to do better to collect this data to better help our patients! @machealthsci @FFDHRI @CCAceliac
Very interesting summary @VerduLab .. how did we arrive at the conclusion that CeD is autoimmune? A review on the CeD mechanisms and auto antigens @FFDHRI @machealthsci
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, @tayloraross16, @Giada_DePalma @Bercik_Collins tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10β¦
Learning from the best! Dr. Premysl Bercik gave a wonderful talk on gut brain axis, from the bench to the bedside to the shelf!! @Farncombe_GI Symposium @Bercik_Collins
Great talk by Dr. Premek Bercik @Bercik_Collins on gut-brain axis signaling @Farncombe_GI Symposium @mcmaster

Out now! Our study marks the first interventional exploration of oral #tryptophan effects in Aryl hydrocarbon receptor #AhR activation in humans @VerduLab @Bercik_Collins @h_sokol @ajpgi journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115β¦
First study in humans to show activation of the AhR pathway in the small intestine in humans by oral tryptophan! @Gastirueda @Bercik_Collins
