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.

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 weāll miss her big time š
