Dr. Graciela Lorca, a Professor at UF's Department of Microbiology and Cell Science, is on the cutting edge of research into the unknown of genetics and microbiology. This spotlight highlights her recent discoveries on the topic. To learn more visit: express.adobe.com/page/P9JjzZMqb…

2 clinical trials by @LorcaLab on probiotics and T1D

Our lab focuses on a probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) called Lactobacillus johnsonii N6.2. This LAB was shown to prevent the onset of #T1D in #diabetes prone rats. We are currently running two clinical trials with L. johnsonii N6.2. Click the link in our bio to learn more!

100 years ago, 14-year-old Leonard Thompson became the first human to receive insulin. Insulin was a breakthrough in diabetes care, and it set the stage for innovation that would continue throughout the next century. #LeonardThompsonDay ow.ly/pokY50HsiP7

Thank you again to @LorcaLab and @peixotors for their amazing talks today! It turned out to be such a great session. Don't worry, it has been recorded and should be up on the #WorldMicrobeForum site within a few days. #probiotics4thewin

Join us tomorrow (June 22, 11AM ET) at the #WorldMicrobeForum for The Good, the Bad, and the Commensal: Probiotics for Food, Human, and the Environment. An interactive session featuring amazing talks by @LorcaLab & @peixotors followed by a live Q&A!

Our microbiota is still the forgotten organ in some medical specialities. See this comprehensive @CellCellPress snapshot on the contribution of the microbiota on physiology beyond gut health ow.ly/CvcZ30rHVqq

Did you know type 1 diabetes can happen at any time, even during a pandemic? Sharing information can be life-saving. You might know the warning signs – but not everyone does! Share this graphic. #T1DWarningSigns
