🐁 Mouse models are typically used in studies on the microbiota-gut-brain axis -- but can primate models help accelerate what scientists know? Check out this first-of-its-kind study on the behavioral effects of depleting the gut microbiota in marmosets. foodforhealth.unl.edu/new-primate-gu…

🔬📰Proud to share the latest research by Center Member, Dr. Jonathan Clayton (@monkey_doc ). "Antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis elicits gut-brain axis relevant multi-omic signatures and behavioral and neuroendocrine changes in a nonhuman primate model" Read more below :

And now that we found it, also @primatemicrobes !

Working hard in the lab to process samples and find out more about reproduction, nutrition and microbiome for the benefit of chimpanzee conservation. @JaneGoodallInst @kdange @amores_wildlife @monkey_doc

We are thrilled to share that @ASPvoice's 2020 Conservationist Award is being presented to Dr. Stan Kivai at the Institute of Primate Research in Nairobi, Kenya in recognition of his exceptional work protecting African primates and engaging in conservation outreach!

Our new study is out, led by Dimitri Sidiropoulos, and conducted in @KnightsDan lab. We created "primatized mice" and showed that wild primate microbes reduce obesity in germ-free mice. doi.org/10.1186/s42523…

Do you know your primates for #internationalprimateday ? The brilliant @PepomintNarwhal keeps us right 👇🐒🐒🐒🐵🦍🧒🐒🐒🐒

Best #ipsnairobi slide of the day. 😂

Microbiome-linked diseases on the rise (Crohn's, MS, Type 1 Diabetes) in humans. There's a lot we don't know about the primate microbiome! Check out the Primate Microbiome Project (PMP; primatemicrobiome.org)! @monkey_doc #IPSNairobi @primatemicrobes

The PMP (primatemicrobiome.org) made the cover of the American Journal of Primatology June 2018 Issue :) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Looking forward to presenting at @icmr_2018 in November! twitter.com/icmr_2018/stat…

My collaborators and I just published a comprehensive review of nonhuman primate gut microbiome research. Congratulations to the @primatemicrobes team on getting this published. We hope this review proves most helpful! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aj…
