Last week 4th<\/sup> year 杏吧原创 University Health Sciences Honours thesis student Sebastian Srugo presented his research titled The Impact of Maternal Malnutrition on Gut Barrier Defence. Implications for Pregnancy Health and Fetal Development <\/em>at the annual Canadian National Perinatal Research Meeting<\/a> in Banff, Alberta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Srugo\u2019s work is the culmination of multiple research experiences with Kristin Connor<\/a>, where he has investigated how development and disease risk are shaped by the gut-brain axis, and learnt effective science communication \u2013 a skill emphasised in the Connor Lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All his efforts paid off, as Srugo beat out graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and clinical residents and fellows to win the Canadian Institutes of Health Research best oral presentation at the conference!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On reflecting about his experience, Srugo said it was amazing to present, learn, and network at the conference, and that he wouldn\u2019t have been as successful without support from the Connor Lab, friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connor added \u201cThis is an incredible achievement for Sebastian, and evidence of how successful an undergraduate research student can be with persistent hard work and good mentorship. In Health Sciences, we are grateful for the support that 杏吧原创 University and its benefactors show towards our trainees. This support allows students to catch the research bug early in their careers and develop inquiring minds that will stay with them long after they leave 杏吧原创.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
