Check out our new paper published @cellhostmicrobe! Lithocholic acid (LCA) is a metabolic toxin decreased by bariatric surgery. Taurodeoxycholic acid, which is increased by surgery, inhibits LCA production by microbes and has metabolic benefits.

We're very excited to share that our paper on the 21-dehydroxylation of steroids is online in @CellCellPress today! Read how flatulence drives bacterial production of allopregnanolone, an FDA-approved drug for postpartum depression.

Please share! The Devlin lab is looking for postdoc fellows. Candidates with experience in either 1) tissue culture & cell-based assay development or 2) analytical chemistry, biochem, or organic chem. are encouraged to visit our lab website & email Prof. Devlin directly. (1/2)
Earlier this week we said ~see you later~ to one of the OG Devlin lab postdocs, Snehal Chaudhari, as she embarks on her journey as an Assistant Professor at @UWBiochem! We are so proud of her but we’ll miss her big time 😭
Long overdue, but our first grad student @microbe_megan just defended her thesis in May!🤩 She also just gave an AMAZING talk at #bbm2023 @BostonBacteria on her thesis work. 🎉 What an exciting couple of months!
A little late to this, but last month, Melissa Tran joined our lab! Melissa is a 2nd year PhD student in the BBS program (@BBS_Harvard).
The Devlin lab is looking for postdoctoral fellows. Candidates with backgrounds in chemical biology, cell biology, chemistry (particularly analytical chemistry/mass spectrometry), or microbiology are encouraged to visit our lab website and email Professor Devlin directly. (1/2)
We are excited to welcome Jasmine Walsh (@jasminetwalsh) to the lab! Jasmine is a first year PhD student in the Chemical Biology program (@chemical_phd).
We finally got a chance to post our lab inclusivity posters! Modified the beautiful design design by @SammyKatta with some microbe illustrations by @BioRender. You can find the posters both outside and inside the lab!
We’re excited to be virtually attending the #HCMPH2020 Human Microbiome Bioactives Symposium! Sloan gave a talk this morning and we’re looking forward to the other talks this afternoon. – at Brookline, MA
Today we gave our extra unopened PPE to the HMS donation site that will be donated to hospitals in the area. Thank you to all the first responders and healthcare workers who are working hard to fight #COVID19!
Another successful @zoom_us group meeting today! Today we are thankful for sustainable internet and @_CEPowell’s dogs 🐶 – at Brookline, MA
Just closed down the lab for the #COVID19 shutdown. 😢 We’ll be practicing social distancing and working remotely. It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later 😌
