This past Friday, I had the opportunity to present my research on liver injury as it relates to short gut syndrome (SGS) at the WashU Spring 2025 Undergraduate Research Symposium. My presentation, “Dysregulated Lipid Metabolism is Associated with Progressive Liver Injury After Massive Small Bowel Resection in Murine Model,” explored intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD), which is a morbid consequence of short gut syndrome, characterized by poor weight gain, diminished fat reserves, and liver steatosis.
Thank you to Dr. Daniel Alligood and the entire Warner Intestinal Adaptation Laboratory team at the Washington University School of Medicine for your guidance over the past two years! I plan to continue my research at the Warner Laboratory next year as well and will likely present my continuing research again at next year’s symposium!
