<li>Robert Quinn, an associate professor in the College of Natural Science, received a $2.5 million award from the NIH that builds on recent microbiome breakthroughs.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The Quinn lab will continue to investigate the role that bile acids play in human health, specifically through a mouse model that exhibits gut inflammation.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>“These molecules are so new and exciting it’s tough to know where to start. Bile acids impact all aspects of our gastrointestinal health."</li>
