July 25, 2024
Poster Presentation, Conference on Beneficial Microbes 2024, Madison, WI, USA
Presented preliminary data on how captive laboratory marmosets microbiome (shotgun metagenomics) and metabolome (untargeted LC-MS/MS) responded to dietary change. Postdoc Poster Prize Winner!
June 16, 2024
Conference Talk, ASM Microbe 2024, Atlanta, GA, USA

June 16, 2023
Conference Talk, ASM Microbe 2023, Houston, TX
Presented preliminary data on how an engineered host-native bacteria was better able to engraft and function long term inside that host than a non-host-native engineered bacteria.
June 16, 2023
Conference Talk, ASM Microbe 2023, Houston, TX
Presented recent findings on how host circadian rhythms could impact the interpretation of microbiome results, making time of sample collection a critical parameter for microbiome replicability. Recording
May 30, 2023
Invited Lecture, Medical College of Wisconsin, Microbiology and Immunology Seminar Series, Milwaukee, WI
Discussed how bacterial genes, like bsh, modify host created bile acids in ways that changes the signaling in host receptors, which in turn affects health and disease.
August 26, 2022
Invited Lecture, Talbot Virtual Veterinary Informatics Symposium, Virginia–Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, Blacksburg, VA, USA
Presented evidence of how host circadian rhythms could impact the microbiome, which in turn affects metabolism and health.
August 27, 2021
Invited Lecture, Talbot Virtual Veterinary Informatics Symposium, Virginia–Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, Blacksburg, VA, USA
Discussed how multiomic analyses lead to breakthroughs in veterinary medicine
December 12, 2019
Invited Lecture (RACE accredited), Fetch DVM360, San Diego, CA
Discussed the fundamentals of the microbiome and how it impacts clinical practice, including antibiotics, probiotics, and fecal transplantation. The basics of microbiome analysis were also discussed.
